Ingredients
- 2 cups Eggnog
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Freshly brewed espresso
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Sugar (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and sugar (if desired), and mix thoroughly.
Meanwhile, brew fresh espresso. If you do not have an espresso machine, strong coffee can be used as a substitute.

Pour the warm eggnog mixture over the espresso in each mug, stirring gently to combine.
Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Sprinkle extra ground cinnamon or nutmeg over the whipped cream for added flavor.
