Instructions: Beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla until froth and lemon-colored.

Add the lemon zest and continue beating.

Add the milk, whisking all the while.

Boil the second half-cup of sugar with the water to make caramel and pour into custard cups.

Add the whisked egg-and-milk mixture and place cups in a pan. Fill the pan with enough water to come halfway to the top of the cups.

Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the custards.

Unmold and serve with Strega.
