Step 1

Heat the milk, cardamom and cloves in a medium saucepan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until just simmering.

Step 2

Use electric beaters to beat egg yolks and cornflour in a medium heatproof bowl until well combined. Add the sugar and beat until thick and pale. Strain the milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Discard the cardamom and cloves.

Step 3

Clean and dry the pan. Pour the custard mixture into the pan. Stir over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until custard coats the back of a spoon. Stir in the orange rind and orange juice. Stir over medium-low heat for 3 minutes or until the custard thickens.
