Creamed Spinach

This is a pretty simple recipe but you really need to pay attention to it.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable broth
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream (or half and half, or whole milk)
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (fresh if possible)
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove minced garlic
2 cups chopped baby spinach

Directions:

Over medium heat in a saucepan melt butter. Add garlic and stir for about 15 seconds making sure you don't burn the garlic. Add in the flour and whisk quickly with a wire whisk. After you have a homogeneous solution add in water, chicken broth, and cream. Whisk until there are no lumps. Add in the nutmeg. Next throw the spinach in the pot and mix well with a wooden spoon. You'll want to cook this for about 4 minutes until the spinach starts to wilt. This may need salt but leave that up to the discretion of your guests.

I can't stress how important it is to continuously stir this the entire time while cooking.
