Homemade Condensed Milk

Ever wondered how condensed milk is made? Wonder no more here’s an easy and straightforward recipe for you, and it only requires three ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

  • Milk – 2 cups

Step 3

Once sugar is dissolved, turn down the heat to low and cook until milk reduces by half (Make sure you stir from time to time). That could take anywhere between 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 4

Milk has been reduced by half.

Step 5

Now, add the baking soda, the milk would bubble at this point.

Step 6

Step 8

Transfer into a clean jar or bowl. It would thicken some more as it cools.

Step 9

Cover and store in the fridge for up to 3 months.
