Instructions
For the Simple Syrup:
Combine the honey, water, spices, citrus peel, and ginger in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the honey has dissolved, about 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Set aside and cool for 30 minutes, then strain the simple syrup through a fine-mesh strainer and into a heatproof bowl.
Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until cool to the touch. Use in the sangria recipe below.
For the Sangria:
Add all of the ingredients (except the club soda) into a large pitcher and gently stir to combine.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours - or up to 12 hours. Stir again and add the seltzer right before serving. Note: If you do not plan on serving after 12 hours, strain the sangria through a fine mesh strainer, discard all fruit, and continue refrigerating for up to 12 more hours. Add more fresh right before serving.
Pour into glasses filled with ice (if desired) and garnish with any of the garnish ideas listed above. Serve at once!
