Ingredients
1 quart whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 allspice berries
One 4-inch cinnamon stick
6 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon almond extract
Kosher salt
1/2 cup rum or brandy
Directions
- Combine the milk, sugar, nutmeg, baking soda, allspice and cinnamon in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally and checking to make sure the milk doesn't boil over, until the mixture is slightly reduced and the flavors come together, about 30 minutes.
- Whisk the egg yolks by hand in a large stainless steel or heatproof bowl until well combined. Slowly pour in the milk mixture, whisking. Return the mixture to the saucepan over medium heat. Add the almond extract and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until the mixture comes to a boil and starts to thicken, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat, immediately add the rum or brandy and stir to combine.
- Remove the pan from the heat, discard the cinnamon stick and allspice berries and let cool at room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice.
