The Very Best Eggnog

Ingredients

1 quart milk 2 cinnamon sticks 1 vanilla bean, split 5 cloves 10 blades of mace 12 egg yolks 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 1/2 cups dark rum 1 1/2 cups brandy 1 tbsp vanilla 1 quart of half-and-half or 1 quart of light cream Freshly grated nutmeg to taste	Advertisements

Preparation
  Combine milk and spices including vanilla bean in a heavy saucepan and let them infuse over lowest possible heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine yolks and sugar in a large bowl and whisk until mixed.
Bring milk to a boil and gradually whisk it into the yolk mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring steadily with a wooden spoon, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until foam subsides and mixture thickens to consistency of heavy cream. (Mixture should thickly coat the back of a wooden spoon.) Do not boil, or mixture will curdle.
Strain mixture into a large bowl and let cool to room temperature. Stir in rum, brandy, half-and-half, vanilla and nutmeg.
Refrigerate eggnog for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Just before serving, dust top of eggnog with additional nutmeg.
