AdInstructions
- Heat the cream with the nutmeg and cinnamon stick in a pot over low to medium heat, stirring now and then, until it is just short of boiling.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Pour the hot cream into the eggs in a slow stream, whisking hard so the eggs don't scramble.
- Return the mixture to the pot and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is thick enough to coat a spoon.
- Take the pot off the heat and stir in the bourbon.
- Refrigerate for at least two hours, until completely cold.
- Serve in a rocks glass, dusted with nutmeg or with a cinnamon stick alongside.
