In a medium saucepan, combine eggnog and milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through but not boiling (about 3-4 minutes).
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.
Divide the espresso evenly between two large mugs.
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.
Optional: Garnish with a cinnamon stick for a festive touch.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Cappuccino Nog!
