Instructions

Preheat the oven to 160 °C. Heat the caramel sugar over medium heat without stirring until it turns amber.
Pour the caramel into a flan mould and swirl it to coat the sides. Let it harden.
Heat the milk with the lemon zest and vanilla without letting it boil, then leave to infuse for 10 minutes.
Whisk the eggs with the sugar, then gradually pour in the strained milk while stirring.
Pour the mixture into the caramelised mould and set it in a dish of hot water reaching halfway up the sides.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the centre is just set. Let cool, then refrigerate for 4 hours before unmoulding.
