1
In a large saucepan, combine milk, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Heat on low for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2
In a separate large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar for 1 minute until well combined.
3
Increase the heat under the saucepan to medium-high and stir the milk mixture constantly until it just starts to boil. Immediately remove from heat.

Slowly whisk about 1/4 of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk and sugar mixture. Then pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan, whisking to combine.

Place saucepan back on the stove over medium heat, whisking constantly for 3 minutes. The mixture will thicken slightly.

After 1 hour, stir in heavy cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg. Mix well.
