Double Boiler Method
If your ice cream maker has a pre-cooling function, start that now. If not, take any steps to assure the churn is ready.In a heavy bottom pot combine the milk, heavy cream, nutmeg, clove and vanilla bean. Heat this mixture over low heat until it begins to simmer.Combine the sugar, polysorbate 80, salt and eggs together in a medium bowl.Once the cream and milk have been heated slowly temper the cream into the eggs while constantly whisking. Once all the cream and milk have been added, place the mixture over a double boiler. While whisking, heat the mixture until it reaches 180F. Do not overheat the base or you run the risk of curdling the eggs.Place the custard base in the refrigerator for 24 hours or until completely cool.Add the rum just before you are ready to churn.
