  • In a saucepan, combine milk, orange zest, lemon zest, and cinnamon. Split vanilla pod lengthways and add it to the saucepan. Gently bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let it steep for 15 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornflour until pale and creamy. Strain the infused milk through a sieve, discard solids, and return milk to the pan over medium heat. Slowly pour in the egg mixture just before it simmers, whisking continuously for about 7 minutes until thickened. Pour mixture into dishes and chill in the fridge. Before serving, sprinkle each with sugar, then caramelize with a blowtorch or by placing under a preheated grill until sugar darkens. Let sugar harden before serving.
