Ingredients

3 cups whole milk
1 cup half-and-half
1 tbsp grated orange zest
2 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
6 eggs
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
pinch of salt
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

In a small saucepan, boil 1¼ cup sugar and water, washing down sides until sugar melts and turns golden brown or a dark honey color. Remove from heat and pour into a 9-inch flan mold, tilting to cover bottom with caramelized sugar. In a stainless steel bowl, beat eggs, yolks, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. In a saucepan over medium heat, heat milk, half-and-half and orange zest until steaming. Add to egg mixture, stirring constantly. Strain through a sieve into flan mold. Place flan mold in a baking pan. Pour warm water about halfway up side of mold.

Bake 40–45 minutes or until cooked, but still wobbly. Allow to cool.

Unmold
To unmold flan, run a paring knife around edge of flan to loosen it. Place a platter on top and flip mold over onto platter.

This recipe will also fill 12–14 (4-ounce) ramekins. Pour a small amount of caramelized sugar to coat each ramekin

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.

Do you favor making sugar a government controlled substance like alcohol and tobacco?
