This week, I'm combining two of my favorite beverages - white wine and green tea... to make Green Tea Sangria!

Here's what you need: -1 bottle white wine (we used our favorite, Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc) -4 green tea bags -4 cups hot water -fresh mint -fresh lemon -honey

Here's what to do: 1) Bring your 4 cups of water to a boil.  Transfer hot water to a pitcher and steep 4 tea bags for about 10 minutes, or to your desired strength. 2) Remove tea bags, and add 1 tbsp of honey to pitcher of hot tea.  Stir gently to mix.  Put pitcher in fridge to cool for about 1 hour.

3) Once cooled, remove pitcher of tea.  In each cocktail glass, fill about 1/3 of the way with white wine.

4) On top of the white wine, fill each glass the rest of the way with chilled tea.  Garnish with lemon slice and fresh mint.
