Ingredients
- 3 cups of milk, divided
3 cinnamon sticks
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Lime peel

1/4 teaspoon of salt
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 eggs

Directions
- To a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 2 cups of milk, cinnamon, ground cloves, lime peel, sugar, condensed milk, and salt.
- Separately, in a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 cup of milk. Combine the milk and cornstarch mixture with the eggs and mix well.
- When the milk in the saucepan begins to boil, lower the heat and remove the cinnamon sticks and lime peel. Then, add the milk, eggs, and cornstarch mixture.

- Turn off the heat and transfer to small serving bowls. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Let cool at room temperature for about 1 hour. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
