Recipe
- In a small pot, combine 240ml of the milk, the cinnamon, orange peel, sugar, and coffee. Bring to a simmer over a medium heat.
- Meanwhile, in a heatproof bowl, combine the remaining milk, corn-starch, and salt, stirring to dissolve.
- Strain the hot milk through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids. Then, whisking constantly, slowly stream the strained milk into the corn-starch mixture.
- Once it is fully incorporated, return the mixture to the pot and cook, whisking constantly to avoid clumping, until it is thick enough to see the bottom of the pan when stirring, about 20 minutes.
- Divide the mixture among individual bowls and let cool to room temperature.
- Sprinkle some sugar on the top of each dish, and caramelise it with a blowtorch before serving.
