Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, add in the sugar, yolks, and salt. Whisk until the yolks are pale yellow and thick.
  2. In a medium saucepan, add in the heavy cream, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Place over medium/low heat and let it come up to a boil slowly.
  3. Once the milk is boiling, whisk 1/4 cup of the milk into the bowl of yolks until completely incorporated.
  4. Whisk in another 1/4 cup of the hot milk into the egg yolks until combined.
  5. Now that the yolks have been tempered, pour the yolks into the saucepan of hot milk while whisking.
  6. Once the yolks are whisked into the mixture, let it heat over medium/low heat until it thickens and reaches 160 degrees F.
  7. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum and vanilla extract.
  8. Pour into a pitcher and let cool to room temperature.
  9. Place into the refrigerator to chill.
  10. Once chilled, serve. Add a cinnamon stick or National Lampoons moose mug for decoration.

Notes
