the the sprite in itshould you just dilute it with spritelike people pour their own know it sayspour it in there with it and mix it bratbefore serving let’s just taste itwithout the sprite first we like your Iwant we like dry one it’s made out of aCabernet summon y’all with just applesand blackberries strawberries oranges -cinnamon sticks I’ll link the recipedown below actually if you want to checkit out it’s really I mean it seemsreally good so we’re gonna try oh itsmells good did you stir it up no it’sfine we can just makes it like this okayget it one spoon yeah how long does thistakestovetop in a saucepan simmer for fourto seven minutes okay mmm don’t set thatdown because I’m saying yeah here I’vegot this it smells good yeah shut thefridge oh yeah the Christmas one cuzit’s got the cinnamon it’s a good handon the case it’s good I don’t know if itneeds bright maybe sure it’ll be a lotbigger like what refreshing that’scourtesy yeah slightly smells goodthere’s like pieces of fruit and stufflike the pulp and stuffoh my gosh yeah it’ll be good that’sreally good that’ll be so good in acrock-potfor Christmas time heat it up like themold you’re like a mold wood with alittle more cinnamon but some cluethinks it was bright will be good sinceit’s hot outside I think in ice I thinkthat’s kind of the point of it I don’t Imean it’s it’s sweet enough as it is Idon’t think it needs it the point forthe sweetener no definitely notice whatsimple syrup that is really good and itsaid this simple syrup if you look onthe recipe it says optional we ourfamily goes toward
