DIY Condensed Milk (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
02 -
1/4 teaspoon salt.
03 -
2 cups whole milk.
04 -
1/2-3/4 cup sugar.
# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium pot, combine milk, salt, and sugar. Stir constantly over medium-high heat until the sugar's gone.
02 -
Turn the heat down for a soft simmer. Gently stir the pot's bottom sometimes but skip the whisking. Let it go for 30-45 minutes.
03 -
Once the liquid's reduced by half and darkened like syrup, stir in the vanilla.
04 -
If there's foam or bits floating around, strain it. Leave it to cool completely after that.
05 -
Pop it into a sealed container, then store it in the fridge for up to a month. Briefly heat it up if it thickens too much.
# Notes:
01 -
A smaller pot speeds things up.
02 -
Thickens even more once cold.
03 -
Skip whisking after sugar's melted in.
