Thoughts and Ideas

You can use any liquor instead of brandy, basing on your personal preferences. I think Marinated in Campari grapefruits would be a good choice. If you choose to use brandy, you better warm it up then mix with sugar. If, for some reason, you cannot use cinnamon, you can replace it with vanilla. Take a vanilla bean, break in two halves, place into the milk mixture and boil. Remove the vanilla bean from the ready mixture, scrape the flesh with a knife, add into the milk mixture and stir. It is important to keep in mind that while you are boiling the milk mixture, it is necessary to whisk it intensively. It is better to do it with a mixer.
