Creme De Vie Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water, sugar, and anise seeds to a boil in a saucepan; lower heat to medium-low. Simmer until thick and syrupy, about 10 more minutes. Remove from heat and pour through a strainer to separate the seeds out; set syrup aside to cool slightly.
• Beat eggs yolks in a large bowl until light yellow; add rum, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Stir in syrup mixture until mixture is smooth. Pour into decorative bottles and seal tightly. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before drinking, the longer the better.

Steps:

• Ready a large bowl or wide-mouth pitcher and fine mesh sieve.
• In an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs and lime zest on medium-high speed until very frothy, about 3 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low, add the evaporated and condensed milk, and mix for 2 minutes. Slowly stream in the rum, then mix for another 2 minutes. Add the nutmeg and angostura bitters and stir for 1 minute. Turn off the mixer, and strain the ponche a crema through the sieve into the pitcher or bowl.
• Serve immediately on the rocks with a dusting of nutmeg.

Steps:

• Make a syrup by mixing the sugar and water in a saucepan and simmer for 3 minutes. Let it cool to room temperture.
• In a large bowl, beat the yolks until light yellow. Add the milks (condensed and evaporated), the vanilla, and the rum. Stir in the sugar syrup.
