Anyone Like Sangria?

I made up a 7 liter batch of white sangria for a party Saturday. My own variation based on about 3-4 different recipes (or 'suggestions', as I call them). A nice change of pace from the red sangria, which can feel a bit heavy when the temperature rises above 90 degrees.

5 liters Almaden box wine (Crisp White or whatever)
1 liter brandy
5 cups water
6 cinnamon sticks & shake or 2 of powdered cinnamon
2-1/2 to 3 cups sugar

Mix the water, cinnamon & sugar in a pan & on medium heat until simmering, let simmer 10-15 minutes. Cool mixture, discard cinnamon sticks.
Add cooled mixture to wine & brandy.

Add 6 sliced peaches, 2-3 sliced apples, 2 sliced oranges, 1 sliced lemon.
Stir/shake & let sit overnight in the light of the moon.

Serve on ice. Have another. Have another. Repeat as necessary.
