This refreshing and light Rosé Rooibos Summer Sangria combines Rosé with African Autumn Rooibos Tea for a flavor infused sangria everyone will love! Recipe developed in partnership with Harney & Son’s Fine Teas.
Get excited!!! This Sangria is going to rock your world. In all the best ways possible, of course. Dare I say this may be my favorite Sangria recipe I’ve ever made. That is a TALL proclamation because Sangria is my jam and I am known in more than a few circles for some kick-ass Sangria recipes.
This Rosé Rooibos Summer Sangria is easy, there is no added liquor (what?) and it can be served within an hour or so of making it.
I used Harney & Sons African Autumn Rooibos Tea to cut the Rosé. The subtle citrus and cranberry flavor adds a layer of complex flavor but doesn’t overwhelm the Rosé wine.
When I tested this Sangria with added Cointreau, it just weighed it down. Even though I usually add some type of liquor to Sangria and truth be told, it was hard not to but this recipe just doesn’t need it.
Add in some fresh strawberries, oranges and lime and serve with a sprig of spearmint and watch disappear!
NOTES:
- I used my Brew-In-Mug Extra Fine Tea Infuser. Here are more options!
- I highly recommend using organic sugar and not palm sugar or some other type of sweetener. I tried a bunch and not only was flavor was really impacted (negatively) but the color changed to a muddy dark color instead of this beautiful ruby red!
- Definitely try to buy organic fruit since the rinds and flesh will be submerged in the drink.
- Do not leave the fruit in the sangria for more than 6 to 8 hours (tops!). If you want it to sit longer or you have leftovers, strain the fruit and keep it in a separate container for serving or it will become too acidic and change the delicate flavor.

This is such a clever twist on the traditional sangria! I love how you’ve paired the sweetness of rose with the earthiness of rooibos. Move on over, iced tea… there’s a new summer beverage in town. 🙂

I’ve not made sangria with tea, but there are plenty of old punch recipes that call for it. Good idea! This looks excellent — thanks.
EverydayMaven says
Yes! I haven’t had a good old fashioned punch drink in a long time. I should work on that 😉

Oh my gosh I believe it was March when you posted the Matcha Mug Cake and mentioned premium Matcha for latté. I immediately ordered some from Harney & Sons and I haven’t been the same since! A diehard coffee drinker no shares equal time for teas. I have tried at least 15 teas from Harney master blenders and haven’t had a bad one yet! I am so grateful you introduced me to them. I have since had several others become fans like myself!
This sangria is going to be a delightful treat! Thank you for your work and recipe development, I can’t wait to try this.
Michele says
Oh and yesterday I ordered the Rooibos for this delightful Sangria! I cannot wait to make this refreshing delicious looking summer treat!
EverydayMaven says
