Christmas Cocktail

STEP 1:
Pour milk, nutmeg, and vanilla into a small saucepan over low heat.

STEP 2:
Whisk egg yolks with sugar and slowly add to hot milk mixture in batches.

STEP 3:
Cook over medium heat until slightly thick without boiling. Use a ThermoPro TP19H to check that the mixture reaches 160°F (71°C) without going over.

STEP 4:
Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream; according to your preferences, add a liqueur such as bourbon. Refrigerate for 2 hours; use a TM01 for an accurate countdown.

STEP 5:
Garnish with whipped cream and cinnamon. Serve, and enjoy!
