½ Cup - Cane sugar

6 - Egg yolks

1 Cup - a2 Milk® Half and Half

Place the milk in a 2 qt. saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisking frequently, warm the milk until steaming. Do not boil.
Meanwhile, whisk the sugar and egg yolks in a mixing bowl until fluffy.
Once the milk begins to steam, reduce the heat to low. Take 1 cup of warm milk from the pan. Whisking constantly, drizzle it into the mixing bowl to temper the yolk mixture.
