Egg Nog

3 eggs
1/4 cup-ish sugar (to taste)
a capful (or 1/2 t) vanilla
1 1/2 c milk
1 1/2 c half/half
nutmeg

Separate eggs yolks and whites. Beat the yolks with sugar until well blended. Stir in vanilla, milk, and half/half. Beat egg whites until fluffy (if you get any yolk in the whites, it will be hard to get it to fluff up). Fold whites in egg nog thoroughly. Don't be too gentle, the whites should lighten the drink but not be discernible. Pour in glasses and sprinkle with a little nutmeg.
