Steps

50 min + refrigeration
  1. 1

    Use a vegetable peeler to cut strips of orange and lemon peel.

  2. 2

    Set aside 1 cup (about 240 ml) of the milk. Pour the remaining milk into a saucepan. Add the lemon and orange peels, cinnamon stick, and sugar. Heat the saucepan over medium heat. When the milk starts to boil, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors. After 10 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat.

    Strain all the infused milk into a separate pot and add the milk with dissolved cornstarch. Mix well and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes very creamy. Remove from the heat.

    Pour the mixture into a tray, cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and let it cool completely. First let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.
