3. Measure ? cup of the spiced tea per serving and pour into a saucepan.
4. Pour one cup of your favorite wine per serving, such as Merlot or White Zinfandel, into the saucepan.
5. Add 1 to 2 tsp. of sugar per serving, if you want a sweeter spiced wine.
6. Heat the mixture but don't let it come to a boil.
