1.Combine milk, cream, sugar, lemon rind and cinnamon quills in a large saucepan. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes to infuse.

Whisk eggwhites and lemon juice until soft peaks form, add remaining sugar and whisk to stiff peaks, then fold through cold milk mixture.
2.Freeze mixture in an ice-cream machine according to manufacturer’s instructions, then store in a freezer until required.
3.For candied almonds, combine all ingredients in a heavy-based frying pan and stir over high heat for 5-10 minutes or until dark caramel. Spread mixture over a baking paper-lined oven tray, separating almonds, and cool. Coarsely chop and set aside.
4.Spoon leche merengada into glasses, scatter with chopped candied almonds and serve immediately.
