  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.
