- 2 cups apple cider ( I use hard cider but you could use regular)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 stick cinnamon
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups 35% cream
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 egg yolks lightly whisked
Combine apple cider, sugar and cinnamon stick in a sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and simmer until it is reduced to ⅔ cup. This may take 25 minutes or more.
Remove from heat and remove cinnamon stick. Stir in milk and then cream. Mix well. Then add the cinnamon and egg yolks. Whisk until well incorporated and smooth.
Return sauce pan to medium heat and cook, stirring often until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. This may take about 20 minutes. Pour custard through a fine strainer to a medium bowl and cool.
Refrigerate until chilled (a couple of hours at least).
Process chilled custard in your ice cream maker according to machine's instructions. Transfer to a storage container and freeze at least 4 hours.
