Combine warm milk and sugar in a bowl; sprinkle yeast on top and let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Once risen, punch down the dough and knead in currants and lemon zest.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a bun; place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cover the buns with a cloth and let them rise again until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

While the buns cool, mix icing sugar with water to create a glaze.

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled buns before serving.
