Steps

15 minutes

1

Bring the milk to a boil with the sugar, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel.
2

Mix the egg yolks with a little bit of milk.
3

When the milk starts to boil, add the egg yolks mixed with the milk.
4

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly so it doesn't stick. When it starts to boil, remove from heat.
5

Pour into individual serving dishes. Before serving, sprinkle sugar on top and caramelize it. I use an electric torch, but you can also use a special hot iron for this.
Enjoy! Montse Boada.
