Holding the handle of your pan, gently tilt the pan off the heat to distribute syrup evenly.

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and orange peel. Stir to dissolve the sugar in through the milk and bring to a slow simmer on medium-low heat. Allow the milk to simmer for 20 minutes.

Once the milk has completely cooled, remove orange peel and pour it through a fine strainer.
-
Gradually beat the cooled strained milk into the eggs. Beat on low speed until air bubbles are out.
-
Pour flan mixture into pan/dish and place into a larger oven-proof pan.
-
Pour hot water into the larger pan to within 1-inch of top of the flan pan or dish. Place pan on the middle rack of the oven. Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until set to the touch.

Remove from the oven and leave in the water bath until cooled. Remove pan/dish from water and refrigerate overnight.

Break up toffee into pieces with a knife, and serve flan with toffee and (optional) orange slices.
