--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4       lg           Eggs
     1/2   c            Sugar
     1/2   ts           Vanilla
   1       t            Zest, lemon
   2 1/2   c            Milk, scalded
     1/2   c            Sugar
   3       tb           Water
     1/2   c            Liqueur, Strega

       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.
