Have a large, heat-tolerant bowl and a strainer set close at hand.

1. Mix the cream, milk, and sugar together in a heavy saucepan.
2. Place the saucepan over a medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
3. Whisk the egg yolks together in a spacious, heat-tolerant bowl. Temper the yolks by slowly adding one cup of the hot cream mixture while whisking vigorously.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and whisk the tempered yolks into the saucepan, creating custard. Stir constantly until the custard thickens slightly and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Immediately strain it into the clean bowl.
5. Allow the custard to cool to room temperature (approximately one hour), then refrigerate it for 4–6 hours, or overnight.
6. Place the cold custard in the canister of your ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions to the soft-set stage (one to two minutes before completion).
7. Add the rum, brandy, and nutmeg. Continue to process until the freezing cycle is complete.
8. Transfer the ice cream to a container, cover, and freeze for at least 4-6 hours to firm up.

NOTE: For best flavor, always remove ice cream from the freezer 20 minutes before serving, or place it in the microwave for 20 seconds.
