Boiled condensed milk at home

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the milk preparation products. Take any milk itself - both store-bought and homemade will do. The higher the fat content of milk, the more calorific condensed milk will turn out. You can put more sugar, I've seen recipes where it was taken twice as much milk, but it will be very sweet. Put vanillin to taste, it turns out more fragrant with it.

2. Step 2:

   

   Take a pot with a thick bottom and high sides. This is important because the milk will start to run away when boiling. Pour milk into it, add sugar, soda and vanilla. Stir.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put a saucepan with milk on the fire, make the heating medium. Bring the milk to a boil. The sugar should dissolve. Foam from soda will rise from above, do not move away from the stove, milk can escape. After a while, the foam will calm down and the milk will just start to boil.

4. Step 4:

   

   Cook the milk, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes over medium heat. It will get a beautiful color of melted milk. Then reduce the heat to a minimum and continue to boil the milk for an hour.

6. Step 5:

   

   Stir the milk all the time so that it doesn't burn. This is where you will understand why a saucepan with a thick bottom is needed - in a normal one, the milk will burn instantly. After twenty minutes of cooking, the milk will darken slightly.

7. Step 6:

   

   After another 20 minutes, it will acquire a slightly caramel color, and its level will noticeably decrease.

8. Step 7:

   

   Continue to cook further, constantly stirring the milk with a spoon. At the end of cooking, the milk will become even darker, it will taste like milk iris.

9. Step 8:

   

   Turn off the fire. Continue stirring the milk without heating for another 5 minutes - this will rid the milk of foam. Cool it to room temperature. The milk will be liquid. Put the pan of milk in the refrigerator. After the cold, the milk will become thicker. pour it into jars and store it in the refrigerator.
