Bring milk to the boil, whisk with egg yolks and 2 tablespoons caster sugar. Pour back into pan, cook over a low heat for 7 minutes – do not boil. Dissolve the gelatine in boiling water, add to hot milk mixture and stir well. Pour in Irish Mist, refrigerate for about 40 minutes, or until mixture begins to set.
