Introduction

Ive had this recipe in my recipes folder for a long a time, but I dont remember where I found it. Since we dont drink, I used, instead of the rum, rum extract and reduce quantity of some ingredients. Nutricional value is based on my changes, not on the original recipe. Ive had this recipe in my recipes folder for a long a time, but I dont remember where I found it.

Ingredients

    12 egg yolks (I used 8 from medium eggs)
    5 cloves, whole
    4 cups milk
    4 cups cream ( I used 2 cans evaporated milk 1 cup regular nonfat milk and water to obtain 8 cups total for milk and cream)
