MULLED MILK

Put the milk and cinnamon stick into a fireproof pan, bring to boiling point, and boil for four minutes.

Mix the yolks of the eggs, sugar, and three tablespoonfuls of cold milk together; strain the hot milk and add it to the eggs, then stir it over the fire until it begins to thicken—it must not boil; pour it several times from one earthenware pitcher to another.
