Tips & Suggestions

Preparation

Preparation Tip 1

Consider using just the egg yolk rather than a whole egg for unsurpassed richness and a velvety mouthfeel.  This adds creaminess without the potential ‘eggy’ aroma of the white.

Preparation

Preparation Tip 2

To infuse a more authentic spice flavour, slowly reheat a small amount of milk with the vanilla pod (or extract) and a piece of cinnamon stick, soak for 15 minutes and chill thoroughly before mixing.
