Strain the leaves out. When you’re ready to use it, reheat until it’s just about to simmer. Then in a medium bowl, whisk the sugar, egg yolks and salt. (If you’re concerned about sugar, you can go down a bit on this, but because of the yogurt tang, I wouldn’t go below ¾ cup). Also, if you really like it thick and rich, you could add up to 6 yolks, rather than 4, but it’s not necessary. Once uniform, pour in about half a cup of the hot cream and whisk until smooth. Add in another half cup. Whisk until smooth. Add the rest of the cream. (This process of slowly heating the yolks is called tempering). Add the whole mixture back into the saucepan and cook low to medium low until the custard thickens and coats the back of your spoon.
