Rompope Horchata

1 quart whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 can condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 cup finely ground almonds or almond meal
8 egg yolks
1/4 cup light rum (optional)

Here's how:

1. Combine the milk, sugar, condensed milk, vanilla, cinnamon stick, and ground almonds in a large saucepan. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and cool to room temperature.

2. Beat the egg yolks until thick and lemony in color. Remove the cinnamon stick from the cooled mixture, and gradually whisk in the egg yolks. Return to low heat, stirring constantly, and cook until mixture coats a spoon. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

3. For “spiked” nog, add the rum, stir well. Transfer the egg nog (spiked or not) to a container and and cover tightly. Refrigerate for one or two days before serving. Makes 1-1/2 quarts.
