In a deep pot, mix the milk with baking soda, sugar, and the seeds from the vanilla pod until dissolved, then heat over medium heat until it boils; let it heat for 8 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking, achieving a slight color change due to the sugar's action. In a bowl, mix the San Juan® egg yolks and add a little of the hot milk from the previous step while stirring to temper; then pour the tempered San Juan® egg yolks into the pot with hot milk and cook over low heat, stirring constantly for 5 minutes until a thick texture is obtained. Remove from the pot and cool immediately in an ice bath. Once it is cold, blend with strawberries and add the rum, refrigerate. Serve the rompope and garnish with fresh strawberries.
