Instructions:
Whisk milk, cream, sugar, lime zest, salt, and yolks in a 4-quart saucepan. Stir in Kaffir lime leaves and cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour. Set pan over medium heat; cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to a simmer, 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and pour through a fine strainer; cover with plastic wrap, pressing it against the surface of the custard. Chill custard completely.
