Instructions

- Add the thin slices of lemon and orange to the pitcher.
- Add the granulated sugar and fresh mint leaves.
- Stir the mixture gently but thoroughly until the sugar is fully dissolved. This step is crucial as it ensures the sweetness is evenly distributed throughout the sangria.
- Refrigerate the sangria for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld together and the fruits to imbue their essence into the drink.
