Instructions: Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; boil until reduced to 1 1/2 cups. Cover and chill. Pour wine mixture through a wire-mesh strainer into a large bowl, discarding bean and mint.

Process strawberries and 1/2 cup water in a blender until smooth; pour through wire-mesh strainer into wine mixture, discarding seeds. Stir in honey and next 4 ingredients; chill. Serve with raspberry sorbet. Garnish, if desired.

Yield: 8 cups

NOTES : Here is a cool one for the summer I will try soon. I have plenty of time as summer is really long here in the South.
