Number Of Ingredients 5

1 quart whole milk
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (3 inch) pieces cinnamon sticks
5 large eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Combine milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 3 minutes, then turn off and allow to cool until lukewarm.
