Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    In a pot, place the sugar and stir little by little, on a medium flame, to dissolve the sugar. It must be stirred at all times as it must be caramelized, but not burned. You will know that the candy is ready when it has acquired a honey color and there will be no sugar crystals in it.

  2. 2

    Add the boiling water over the caramel, very carefully, as it tends to jump and may burn in the process. Stir until both liquids are incorporated and pour into a mold, making sure that it covers the entire base.

  3. 3

    In a pot, over medium heat, place the milk and add the sugar, vanilla essence, lemon peel, cinnamon stick and cloves. Stir constantly to prevent the sugar from burning at the base of the pot.

  4. 4

    Once you release the boil, lower the flame to the minimum and add the semolina in the form of rain, little by little and without stopping stirring until it thickens.

  5. 5

    Turn off the kitchen, remove the lemon peel, cloves and cinnamon. Pour the milk with semolina over the caramel mold.

  6. 6

    Let it cool at room temperature for 1 hour and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
