In a saucepan, dissolve the gelatin and salt in the milk, add the citrus zest and the cinnamon stick, and bring to a boil. Stir constantly to prevent the milk from overflowing. In a bowl, mix the cornstarch and brown sugar and add it to the boiling liquid; cook for one minute and remove. Pour the mixture into heat-resistant individual molds. Let cool for at least 6 hours in the fridge.

Tips

If you want a healthier recipe, you can substitute cow's milk for soy milk and gelatin for agar-agar; the latter is an algae that you can find in health stores or Asian markets and works quite well as a substitute for gelatin.
