Mixed spice

I have started making a date loaf which calls for mixed spice, I thought I had some but have now discovered that I don't. I have cinnamon, cloves, gingerand nutmeg can I combine any of these or use one of these in place of the mixed spice? ? Recipe only calls for 1 tsp full. TIA

Yes, of course you can ... I would use 3/4 tsp of cinnamon, 1/8 tsp cloves and 1/8 tsp of nutmeg. I would forget the ginger unless you would like a gingery taste to it too :-)

Ginger and dates is a lovely combination.
