All forms of ampersand are based on “Et”, Latin for “and”, so cheat and use the backwards 3 (for E) forms.
The simplest puts a vertical bar through the backwards 3 like a relative of the dollar sign, and the other adds a t to it so that the middle point and the bottom line of the backwards 3 join up with the crossbar and base of the t. Bonus points for drawing that latter one without lifting your pen, but you’re doing well if you still have to extend the t’s crossbar after the fact.
Or really cheat and use the plus sign. That’s just the t from “Et”, but in the right context, most people instinctively understand it + will know what you mean.
