- Whisk until fluffy.
- Heat up the milk adding both the nutmeg and cinnamon, pour the milk in a pot, turn on the heat to medium until the milk mixture is steamy hot, but not boiling.
- Add half of the hot milk mixture into the eggs slowly, whisking constantly as the mixture comes together, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
