Bring it to a scald, then let it infuse for fifteen minutes. While waiting, separate five eggs into their yolks. After this, add 1/2 cup sugar to the yolks and a pinch of salt. Whisk until combined, then set aside. Back to the cream, once it cooled down, strain it to the whisked yolks. Whisk them together to combine.
