The serving size for Sangria Tea can vary depending on the size of the glasses and the preference of your guests. However, a standard serving size is usually about 8 ounces per person. This recipe yields 4-6 servings, and you can adjust the quantities based on the number of guests you're serving. If you're hosting a larger gathering, you may want to double or triple the recipe accordingly.
