In a saucepan, heat 1 liter of whole milk over medium heat for about 5 minutes until steaming, adding 1 stick of cinnamon cut in half to infuse flavor.

Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites by cracking the eggs and letting the whites fall through your fingers, keeping the yolks.

Whisk the egg yolks and temper them by adding a little bit of the hot milk to them while whisking to prevent them from cooking too quickly.

Once tempered, pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the milk, whisking continuously in a steady stream.

Add 1 cup of sugar to the mixture and stir well. Optionally, you can add sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar, but the original recipe calls for sugar.

Prepare a baking dish that can fit in a larger pan for a water bath, filling it with the mixture.

Pour hot water into the larger pan to create a water bath for the baking dish.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes.

After 45 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and broil for 15-20 seconds until the top is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool before serving, optionally garnished with red fruits, caramel, or mint leaves.
