* Contributed by Catsrecipes Y-Group
== Ingredients == 
* 4 cups milk
* 1 cup sugar
* 3 inches cinnamon bark
* ¼ tsp baking soda
* 12 egg yolks
* ½ cup rum, brandy or Comiteca
== Directions ==
# In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, mix together the milk, sugar, cinnamon and baking soda.
# When it begins to boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
# Set aside to cool, and strain to remove the cinnamon bark.
# Place the egg yolks in a mixing bowl and whisk or beat with an electric mixer about 5 minutes, until thick and lemon yellow.
# While still beating, slowly pour the cool milk mixture into the yolks.
# Return to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and lightly coats the back of a wooden spoon.
# Remove from heat and stop the cooking by pouring the rompope into a bowl (preferably metal) that is resting on ice in a larger bowl.
# Stir until cool.
# Gradually stir in the brandy, rum or Comiteca and it's ready to serve, or it can be lightly covered in the refrigerator.
