- In a saucepan, heat the milk with the sugar, cinnamon sticks and lemon peel. Once the milk is hot, remove the cinnamon stick and lemon peel.
- In a bowl, combine the cornstarch with a little cold water until it forms a smooth mixture.
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the hot milk, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens into a creamy consistency.
