INGREDIENTS FOR YIELDS
2 cups (480ml) Milk
1 cup (240ml) Heavy cream
6 Egg yolks
1/2 cup (100g) Sugar
Pinch Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/4 cup (60ml) Cognac/Whisky/bourbon/rum (optional)
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl whisk egg yolks and sugar until light, thick and fluffy. Set aside.
In a saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, salt, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer.
Temper the eggs by slowly adding the hot milk mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly while pouring the hot milk mixture.
Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently with a wooden, until the mixture begins to thicken slightly, and coats the back of the spoon or until it reaches about 160F (70C). It will thicken more as it cools.
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and liquor. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer.

When ready to serve, pour into a glass with ice cubes, sprinkle some grated nutmeg and cinnamon.
