Ingredients
For the ice bowl
- 2 large plastic bowls, one, two inches smaller than the other
- Water, depending on the size of the bowls
- Frozen berries and mint leaves to decorate
For the sangria
- 1 liter red wine
- 200 ml strawberries puree
- 4 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon vanilla powder or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
Method
- STEP 1Let's start by preparing the ice bowl.
- STEP 21.Pour enough water in the larger bowl to fill the bottom of the bowl (about 1 inch). Place in freezer, and freeze for about 2 hours
- STEP 32. Place the smaller bowl on the larger bowl (be careful it is well centered) and pour enough water to fill the bottom bowl. Remember to leave some space for decorations (at least 2 inches), and also that water tends to expand when frozen. Put some weight (a heavy can for example) on the top bowl so that it doesn't move. Place in freezer, and freeze for another 2 hours
- STEP 43. Decorate using berries and mint leaves, and pour some more water to cover it. Remember not to fill the bottom bowl too much, or it will overflow when frozen. Place again on the freezer, and freeze for 2 more hours, or overnight
- STEP 54. To remove ice bowl from plastic bowls, gently rub the plastic bowls with a towel damped with hot water. Store the ice bowl in freezer.
