Instructions
- Add milk and baking soda to a large pot.
- Mix on medium heat and bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, mix in ¾ cup of sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves, ground nutmeg and salt.
- Lower heat to medium low and simmer for 20 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to mix occasionally to keep the milk from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Set aside for 20 minutes to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks.
- Gradually whisk the egg yolks into the warm milk mixture, a little at a time, to temper the eggs.
- Return the mixture to the stove and cook over very low heat for 15 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
- Mix in vanilla.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled.
- If desired, add your desired amount of rum or brandy to each serving once chilled.
Notes
- Rompope is typically served chilled or at room temperature in clear glasses. However, you can choose to not chill it and serve it warm if you'd like.
