• 750ml whole milk
• 100g sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick
• peel of 1 lemon
• 1 egg white
• ground cinnamon to finish

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Warm the milk with the sugar, cinnamon stick and lemon peel until steaming, then take it off the heat.
2. Leave it to infuse for 20 min, then strain and chill until properly cold.
3. Whip the egg white to soft peaks.
4. Fold the whipped white through the cold milk — it should be frothy, not stiff.
5. Freeze for 1 hr, stirring once, so it goes slushy at the edges.
6. Serve in a tall glass with ground cinnamon over the top.
