Ingredients
- 12 egg yolks
- 5 whole cloves
- 4 cups milk
- 4 cups cream
- 3 cups light rum (optional)
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preparation
Step 1
In a saucepan, blend milk, cinnamon, cloves, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla over low heat. Stir, and remove from heat just before boiling.
Combine sugar and egg yolks in a medium size bowl, whisk until light and fluffy.
Slowly add the milk mixture, a little at a time, while continuing to whisk.
Pour entire mixture in a saucepan over medium heat, stir.
Continue to stir until the mixture becomes custard-like in consistency. Be sure not to let the mixture reach a boil.
Pour the mixture into a serving pitcher through a strainer to remove the cloves.
Remove from refrigerator, and gently stir in cream, light rum, remaining vanilla, and nutmeg.
