+## ingredients
+* 5 Cups Milk
+* 4 Cinnamon Sticks
+* 1 Yoink of Cloves
+* 5 tsp Vanilla
+* 14 Egg Yolks
+* 1-1/2 Cups Sugar
+* 1 Quart of Half and Half (Or one pint of Heavy Cream)
+* 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
+* Additional Nutmeg to taste (Topping at the end)
+
+## steps
+1. Add milk, Cinnamon Sticks, Cloves, and 1 tsp of Vanilla into a large saucepan. Put on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring, so it doesn't burn.
+2. Whisk eggs & sugar for a minute in a medium size bowl (Glass or metal is preferred)
+3. Turn heat to med-high under milk, remove cinnamon sticks, stir constantly until milk reaches boiling (Do NOT leave unattended). Then, turn off the heat.
+4. Slowly, whisk in 1/4 of the milk into the egg/sugar mixture.
+5. Now pour the egg/sugar mixture back into the saucepan and whisk together.
+6. Over med-high heat, whisk constantly for about 3 minutes. Ensure the temperature reaches 160F. It should thicken some.   
+7. Strain through a fine mesh sive into a large bowl. Cool for an hour at room temperature.
+8. Stir half-and-half/heavy cream, remaining 4 tsps of vanilla, and nutmeg into the bowl.
+9. Chill for at least 4-8 hours in a pitcher.

+## notes

+* If you pour too fast, you get scrambled eggs
