Save the mix for later.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Next you should pour the rest of the milk in a pan and heat it up on the stove. While the milk is heating up, wash a lemon thoroughly to make sure you remove any dirt or chemical products from the peel. Use a sharp knife and carefully peel the lemon, trying to get only the yellow part and not the white part of the peel, since the white part can produce a very bitter taste in the dessert.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Place the peel with the milk in the pan until the milk starts to boil.
