Country Witch Eggnog

 1 cup apple cider

3 cups milk

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup whipping cream

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 tablespoons brandy

Combine all of the ingredients in a large cauldron or pot and cook over medium heat for 13 minutes. Pour the hot eggnog into mugs and top each serving with fresh whipped cream (if desired).
