Mom H's Egg Nog

When we have fresh eggs, (eggs fresh from hens in the yard or neighborhood,) we like to make this drink my mom used to make when I was a kid. Non alcoholic, of course!

The recipe is for one serving. I ask how many people want some, and make it in the quantity of those having some.

1 egg
1 C milk (any kind you want, thick or thin)
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 T sugar (to taste)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Dash nutmeg

Blend this together on high for one minute, and enjoy!

My mom had a huge family and so she'd thin things out frequently.  Here is her recipe for a whole blender jar full:

6 cups milk (the eggs will froth up a lot)
2-3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 C sugar (to taste)
1 tsp cinnamon
Dash+ nutmeg

It would be a lot skinnier if I made it that way, so maybe I'll try her recipe today... :)
