Heat the milk with cinnamon and lemon zest for 8 minutes.
Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and starch in a separate bowl.
Add the hot milk to the eggs little by little, whisking constantly so the eggs do not curdle.
Return the mixture to the pot and cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
Divide into bowls and chill for 3 hours, then torch the sugar before serving.
Dry the surface before torching the sugar, so the caramel crust does not spot.
💡 Tip: Do not boil the custard; egg yolks turn grainy at high heat.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Torch the sugar just before serving for a crisp caramel top.
