I came across this recipe in a wonderful little book I just acquired (Adrianna's Spice Caravan by Adriana and Rochelle Zabarkes)

1 Combine the cream, milk, spices and half of the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir the remaining sugar into the yolks.

2 Add the cream mixture in a stream to the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly, and pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Cool, pour into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the namufacturer's directions.
