Cinnamon Vanilla Ice Cream

I hosted my brother's 21st birthday party on Monday.  My mom brought the cake, but I made the ice cream.  Cinnamon and vanilla are my new favorite combo - so good!  Here are the ingredients:

1c milk (I used whole milk)
2c heavy whipping cream
2/3c sugar
2 egg yolks
1T vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Warm the milk and heavy cream in a pan until they form bubbles on the side of the pan.  Add the sugar and stirr to dissolve.  Beat the egg yolks and add a few spoonfuls (I added about 2T at a time for a total of about 1/2c) of the warm cream mixture to warm the yolks a little.  Add the yolk mixture back into the cream and stir.  Stir occasionally as the mixture thickens and comes to 160 degrees on a candy thermometer.  You should probably add the cinnamon during this step.  Once the mixture is 160 degrees, strain it into a bowl and add the vanilla.  I added the cinnamon once it was strained, and I had to restrain it because it got really lumpy.  Cool the mixture then freeze according to your ice cream makers directions.
