All my Ingredients ready

Add Milk, cloves, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla together and bring it slowly to a boil

Separate the eggs. (the whites are going to be used for a Pavlova)

Add the sugar

Whisk egg yolks and sugar together until it has a light colour.

Slowly combine the milk mixture with the egg. (better to let the milk cool a little before hand or else you get scrambled eggs)

I noticed it froths up alot when you do it with the electric whisk

Pour the mixture back into the pot and cook over a medium heat with out letting the mixture boil for about 5 min.

Let it cool for about an hour or else the alcohol will evaporate

Add the rum

Add the cream

Add more Vanilla

And lastly add the nutmeg

Put it in the fridge overnight. (but sometimes I'm so anxious I serve mine after 4 hours.)

The finished 'nog served with a mince meat pie
