Mix all the spices except the nutmeg, the milk/cream/half and half, and the syrup in a saucepan. Heat the mixture until bubbles form all around the edges but DO NOT bring it to a full boil.
Turn off the burner. Let the mixture steep for ten minutes.
Strain out the spices. Reheat if necessary.
Add the bourbon and split between two glasses. Or hog it to yourself. We’re not here to judge.
