3. Bring the milk and vanilla bean to 180 degrees. Meanwhile, beat sugar with the yolks until they are ribbon like. Off the heat slowly whisk the hot milk into the yolks. Put the mixture back on the heat and cook slowly for 8 minutes to let the custard thicken. Be careful to stir and not let the eggs scramble. Stain the custard through a fine mesh strainer Cool the mixture over an ice bath stirring with a wooden to quickly cool the mixture. Keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the ice cream. Put the mixture in your ice cream machine and follow your directions.
