Heat the milk with the lemon peel, butter, salt, and sugar.
Add the vermicelli and cook over medium low heat until tender.
Whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl and warm them with some of the hot milk mixture.
Pour the egg mixture into the pot and stir until it thickens.
Spread the dessert on a serving plate and decorate with cinnamon after it cools.
💡 Tip: Add the tempered egg yolks off strong heat so the milk dessert thickens without scrambling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve chilled or at room temperature, decorated with cinnamon on top.
