1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 egg yolks
1½ cups Bourbon Smoked Sugar
2½ cups Kentucky Bourbon
4 cups light cream
2 teaspoons Bourbon Barrel Aged Madagascar Vanilla Extract

Preparation:
1) Combine milk, cloves and cinnamon in a large saucepan. Slowly bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, remove from heat.
