## Ingredients

- 6 egg yolks
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 pinch cinnamon

## Instructions

1. Separate six egg yolks from their whites and put the yolks in a bowl. Reserve the egg whites for another use.
2. Add three quarters of a cup of granulated sugar to the egg yolks.
3. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale.
4. In a saucepan, combine two cups of whole milk, one cup of heavy cream, one teaspoon of vanilla, half a teaspoon of nutmeg and a pinch of cinnamon.
5. Bring the milk mixture to a boil, then turn off the heat.
6. Temper the eggs by slowly adding a portion of the hot liquid to the egg mixture while whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
7. Add the tempered egg mixture to the saucepan with the remaining hot milk mixture and stir to combine. If there are curdles, pass the mixture through a strainer.
8. Add alcohol at this point, if desired.
