Ingredients
One 750-ml bottle dry or off-dry white wine, preferably Riesling or Grüner Veltliner
1 piece star anise
Two 1/4-inch-thick slices fresh ginger
3 green cardamom pods
3 whole cloves
3 to 4 tablespoons honey, or to taste
1/4 cup pear brandy, such as Poire Williams
4 slices Asian pear
Instructions
Put the wine in a medium heavy saucepan with the star anise, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and honey (start with 3 tablespoons and adjust later if necessary). Set the pan over medium heat and bring just to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and let the wine mull for at least 15 minutes.
Taste and add more honey if you like. Gently reheat the wine until it starts to steam, then turn off the heat and stir in the brandy.
Divide among 4 mugs or heatproof glasses, putting a few of the whole spices in each mug if you like, and add a slice of Asian pear. Toddy away!
