Mulled White Wine

This warming mulled white wine incorporates everything we love about its classic red counterpart but maintains a lighter body that's perfect for simmering away with citrus, honey, and deep, aromatic spices. It's a crisper, lighter option that still hugs on to mulled wine's cozy appeal.

• ¼ cup brandy (optional)
