• In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon stick, cloves, and nutmeg and bring to a simmer.
• Turn off the heat and let the spices steep in the milk for 15 minutes.
• While the milk is steeping, set up a large bowl with a strainer over it near the stove.
• After the milk has steeped and cooled for 15 minutes, whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl and stir into the milk, whisking constantly.
• Turn the heat back on to medium-low and cook the milk and egg mixture, stirring constantly until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Immediately strain the mixture to stop the cooking and to remove the cinnamon stick, cloves, and any curds that may have started to form.

ROMPOPE (MEXICAN EGGNOG)

Steps:

• Mix milk, cinnamon, cloves, sugar, nutmeg and the pinch of baking soda in a saucepan and stir. Place saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Then turn the heat to low and simmer for about 8-10 minutes, allowing the milk to absorb the cinnamon and cloves' flavors.
• Turn off the heat and remove saucepan from stove to cool.
• While the milk is cooling, beat the egg yolks until they are a pale yellow. You can use your mixer if you want for this step.
• Slowly pour the egg yolk mix into the already cooled milk and stir. Once it is completely incorporated, place saucepan back on the stove and turn the heat on to medium-high, stirring frequently. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently to avoid curdling, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture starts to become thick.
• Remove from heat and pass through a sieve to remove cinnamon sticks and cloves. Add rum or brandy, and mix well. Pour into another container with a lid and let it cool for a couple of hours and refrigerate. The Rompope will taste best if you let the flavors combine, by storing it in the fridge for 2 weeks. But you can use it right away.
