Measure 1tbsp of mixed spice and stir well into the wine and gin.
If you do not have mixed spice, a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger will work perfectly.

Gently heat the wine.

Apply a low heat to the wine, but do not bring to the boil. Remove from heat when warmed through.

Ladle the wine into glasses.
