Step 1 of 3 · Crema Catalana

Infuse the Milk

In a saucepan, heat the milk with the cinnamon stick and lemon peel until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let it infuse for 15 minutes. Strain the milk to remove the aromatics.

Ensure you only use the yellow part of the lemon peel to avoid bitterness.
