Ingredients

  • 1 large egg

  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • 3/5 cup whole milk
  • 1/5 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/5 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/10 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2/5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, and sea salt until well-combined. Set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the whole milk, cream, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Heat over medium-low heat, whisking often, until it begins to steam.
