First caramize the sugar. Put the sugar and water in a small skillet then heat over a medium flame, stirring constantly. As soon as the sugar has a golden colour pour immediately into 6 custard cups.
To make the custard lightly beat the eggs with a whisk until light coloured. Beat in the sugar, then gradually add the orange juice and rind.
Pour into the custard cups and place into a roasting pan of hot water. Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted into the custard comes out clean. Remove from the pan of water and cool.
To serve unmould and spoon over the caramalized sugar.
