Start by adding milk, sugar, lemon zest from one lemon and two or three cinnamon sticks to a pot. If you do not have cinnamon sticks you can use a tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Heat it on high until it boils.

When the milk starts to boil, turn off the heat and put the pot in the refrigerator to cool. Meringued milk is a drink served very cold. While it's cooling in the fridge, whisk the egg whites until stiff with half a teaspoon of sugar. Powdered sugar is better but if you don't have it you can also use granulated sugar.

When the meringue is cold, remove it from the refrigerator and strain it to remove traces of zest and cinnamon. You can do this directly into the container you will use to serve the drink. Then add the egg whites and mix. If you prefer a more liquid texture, use one egg white instead of two.
