Whisk together egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy, then gradually whisk into warm milk mixture. Return to the pan and stir over low heat 8-10 mins, until mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon. Strain through a fine sieve and discard the vanilla bean. Serve warm or refrigerate, covered, and serve cold.
