- Lets work on the milk , in a pot at low temperature add all your ingredients, let it them infuse, stir constantly until it is about to boil , then turn off the stove and let it get chill for at least 20 min. you do not want to burn your milks so stir constantly.
- Once our cake and milks rested , we have to make some holes on the cake with a toothpick after that we pour 1/3 of the milk, let the cake absorb all the milk and then you pour a little bit more until the cake absorbs all of the milk.
