Directions

- Warm the milk with cinnamon or lemon zest.
- Once it’s heated through, pour it slowly through a sieve over the mixture, while constantly stirring. ≈ 3 min
- Place on low heat, stirring constantly, but never letting it boil, so that the yolks don’t scramble.
- Remove from the heat as soon as the cream thickens, pour it into individual ramekins, and let it cool.
