Servings: 5 cups
Ingredients
- 3 c. whole milk
- 1 c. light cream
- 3 whole cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 vanilla bean split in half lengthwise and seeds scraped
- 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

- 3/4 c. granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, over medium-low heat, bring milk, cream, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks, vanilla bean, and nutmeg just to a boil.
- In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow in color and fluffy. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of the hot milk mixture until well blended. Gradually whisk egg and milk mixture back into the saucepan. Continue to cook and stir over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes more or until mixture thickens.
