1 Cup Heavy Cream
1/2 tsp.
Fresh Grated Cinnamon4 Egg Yolks
1/2 Cup Sugar
2" x 1/2" Strip of Lemon Zest
METHOD:In a
medium saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, lemon zest and cinnamon. Warm over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edge of the pan, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. In a
large bowl,
whisk egg yolks together with sugar, until blended. Temper egg yolks by adding a little of the warmed mixture to the egg yolks,
whisking well. Add remaining milk mixture to egg yolks and
