How to Make Sweetened Condensed Milk

In our previous episode I spoke about fake condensed milk that is flooding the marketplaces around the globe-- if you missed it, the link is in the description listed below. Today I am going to show you how to make your own condensed milk at home using just milk and sugar. Given that a lot of dishes call for condensed milk on can measurements, this dish will make the precise equivalent of a single can of condensed milk. If you require 2 cans, just double up the dish and change the timings appropriately. The added perk of making your own condensed milk is that it exercises at approximately half the cost of store-bought condensed milk. To start, determine out 2 and one quarter cups of full cream milk, and 2 thirds of a cup of sugar plus one tablespoon. You can utilize any white sugar, nevertheless I choose to use caster sugar as it is extremely fine-tuned and includes less impurities, leading to less residue or slag that needs to be skimmed from the top of the pot.

Location a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat and pour in the milk and sugar. Stir this until the sugar has actually dissolved. When it is dissolved as the bottom of the pot will be smooth, you will know. At this stage, eliminate the spatula from the pot and wait until the milk just concerns a gentle simmer around the edges. Lower the heat and permit this to simmer carefully for 35-40 minutes. The specific timing will depend on what pot you use, your stove, and numerous other variables. During this stage it is very important not to disrupt the milk in any method. Upseting the milk or stirring will knock sugar crystals that form on the edges of the pot back into the mix, and this will result in a rough condensed milk. When the milk has actually minimized to half of it's original volume, utilize a spoon dipped in a little water to skim off any slag or scum. The procedure is total if the milk coats you spoon and drips off from the spoon like pouring cream. Remove the pot from the heat and pour the condensed milk through a sieve to strain out any skin and slag that you may have missed with the spoon. Enable the condensed milk to cool to room temperature level before covering and cooling. The condensed milk will last for 6 months under refrigeration. As the condensed milk cools it will thicken dramatically to the consistency of store-bought condensed milk. And there we have it, silky-smooth creamy condensed milk made right here in the house.
