Steps:

• In a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring the liqueur to a simmer.
• Cook until the liqueur is reduced to about 1/2 cup (about 5-7 minutes); the liqueur will appear thicker and slightly syrupy; set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the sugar into the egg yolks until thickened and pale yellow; set aside.
• In a heavy saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer.
• Slowly beat the hot milk into the egg/sugar mixture.
• Pour entire mixture back into the saucepan and put over low heat.
• Stir continually with a whisk until the custard thickens slightly (don't let mixture boil or eggs will scramble).
• Remove pan from heat and pour hot mixture through a strainer into a large clean bowl.
• Allow mixture to cool slightly.
• Mix in the reduced liqueur, cream, and vanilla.
• Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight.
• Stir the chilled custard.
• Freeze in 1 or 2 batches in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
• The ice cream will be soft but ready to eat.
• For a firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for a few hours.
