Egg Nog For One

1 Tbs Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
8 oz Milk or Half and Half or combination of
the two
Dash Nutmeg Beat egg, sugar and

1/2 minutes. Stirring every 30 seconds. DO

Note: You can
turn this into homemade vanilla ice cream by
leaving off the nutmeg and freezing it for
several hours until frozen (stirring about
every 30 - 40 minutes).
By adding an extra
egg yolk, before microwaving, you can make it
French Vanilla ice cream. This is really good
in the summertime to help cool you
down.
