Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 c Milk
2 c Heavy cream
3/4 c Sugar
2 lg Cinnamon sticks
3 Egg yolks -- beaten

In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine
the milk, cream, sugar, and cinnamon sticks. Heat the
mixture until it simmers, stirring to dissolve the
sugar. Remove from the heat and leave to steep,
covered, for 2-3 hours. You can leave the cinnamon to
soak in the cream mixture even longer if you want a
more defined cinnamon flavor.

Heat the liquid again to just below a simmer. Stir a
ladle of the hot liquid into the egg yolks, then whisk
the yolks into the cream mixture. Continue stirring
over very low heat, never allowing the mixture to
boil, until the custard thickens, about 8-10 minutes.

Pour the custard into another container and allow it
to cook, then chill it. Remove the cinnamon sticks,
strain the custard if needed, and freeze it in an ice
cream freezer accoridng to manufacturer's instructions.
