Heat milk in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Pour sugar and egg mixture into milk and whisk vigorously.
Continue stirring until mixture reaches 155-160º and mixture coats the whisk. About 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and whisk in heavy cream, vanilla extract, nutmeg and cinnamon, and stir well.

Pour eggnog into a pitcher and refrigerate for 6-8 hours, or overnight.
Shake before serving and garnish with nutmeg and/or whipped cream.
