Divide the brandy batter evenly among 4 heatproof mugs (about 1-2 tablespoons per mug, depending on taste).
Add 1 ounce of spiced rum and 0.5 ounces of brandy to each mug.
Pour about 3 ounces of boiling water into each mug, stirring thoroughly to dissolve the batter and combine all ingredients.
Garnish each mug with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy responsibly!
