Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, use a handheld electric whisk to beat the egg yolks until lighter and a little frothy. Slowly add in the caster sugar while continuing to beat until lighter and thickened. Set aside.
- Pour the milk into a large saucepan and add the whole cloves, star anise whole nutmeg and cinnamon. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod and add these along with the whole pod.
- Stir the milk mixture and cook over a medium heat until simmering. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes, but do not boil.
- Temper the egg yolks with the hot milk mixture by slowly adding about half of the hot spiced milk to the egg yolks whilst continuously whisking with a handheld whisk. Then add the egg mixture into the saucepan, whisking continuously, and return to the heat.
- Continue cooking over a medium heat until thickened and able to coat the back of a spoon (about 15 minutes). Avoid boiling and continue to stir to avoid the milk scalding on the bottom.
- Once thickened, remove from the heat and add the cream. Stir through.
- Strain the mixture to remove the spices and any lumps. Allow to cool and then chill for a couple of hours.
- Serve with a shot or two of liquor to your taste and top with fresh grated nutmeg.
