Combine milk, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and cloves in a saucepan over the lowest heat setting; stir and heat for 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-low and slowly bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.

2. Stage

Whisk egg yolks in a large bowl until light yellow in color. Add sugar and whisk until light and fluffy.
