Mix 240ml milk, 2 eggs, and 1 tbsp sugar in a bowl.

Warm the milk slightly in the microwave for about 15 seconds to dissolve the sugar.

Beat the eggs gently using chopsticks to minimize bubbles.

Strain the egg mixture through a sieve into the milk mixture and combine well.

Prepare the syrup by mixing water and sugar in a 1:1 ratio. Heat on low until thickened and bubbly.

Spread 1–1.5 tbsp of syrup on the bottom of serving dishes.

Fill the dishes with the pudding mixture up to 70–80% full. Place them in a larger bowl with a kitchen towel and water halfway up the sides.
