Did you know that
The temperature of the milk is important for pasteurizing eggs.
In this case, the sugar acts as an anticoagulant, therefore the eggs, in contact with the hot milk, are not cooked.- Once cold, add the pure alcohol and dry Marsala wine.

- Store in a cool place (preferably in the fridge) and use within a month.
