- In a blender, mix 2 cups (500 ml) of milk with the salt, sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch. Blend for 1 minute, and set aside.

- Stir the mixture that is in the blender and add it to the saucepan with the milk.
- Add the cinnamon stick and vanilla and mix well.
- Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly until thick.
- Remove from heat. Pour into a large bowl or individual cups and let cool.

Notes
- If you want the consistency of the milk to be thicker, to use it in a recipe that requires it for example, you just need to reduce the amount of milk. The other ingredients will be used in the same quantities.
