This recipe that is a mixture of mulled white wine and a white sangria. During cold winter nights I find this a very nice drink and it seems to make me less sleepy than a mulled wine. The warm white wine will keep you warm and your nose free, the citrus fruits add freshness, vitamin C and balances the sweetness of the honey and sugar. The Cardamom adds a little surprise to this old and tested recipe.
Method
- Wash the lemon and oranges thoroughly then slice them very thin. Ensure that all seeds have been removed.

- Add the white wine to the hot citrus infused syrup, and bring back to heat, but do not boil. Let steep for at least 5 minutes in consistent
- Adjust the sweetness with additional honey according to your taste and then serve immediately.
