| 1. Make the caramel: Place water, lemon juice, and sugar in a saucepan. Do not stir the liquid. | 2. Bring to a boil until the syrup takes on a darkish-brown color. | 3. Pour a layer of the syrup into a large cake mold or into small individual aluminum containers and allow to cool. | 4. Make the cream: Bring the milk to a boil. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and the sugar adding in the salt and the vanilla. | 5. Continue to beat the mixture while slowly adding the warm milk. | 6.

With a wooden spoon mix into the egg-sugar mixture, folding in all the ingredients. | 14. Distribute evenly into the molds of the half-baked crème slowly in order not to disturb the consistency of the crème and continue to bake for another 35 minutes. | 15. Remove, cool to room temperature and chill for 5-6 hours. | 16. To serve, place the molds into hot water to loosen and invert the mold onto the service plate.
