Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups farm fresh whole milk
Instructions:
- Place milk in a heavy bottom(non-stick) sauce pan.
- Bring to a slow simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to make sure it’s not getting scorched on the bottom of the pan.
- Continue to simmer and periodically stir until milk reduces by at least half. This can take between 25-45 minutes, depending on your stove temperature.
- Strain it through a sieve(possibly a second time as it cools), then store in a glass container in the fridge for up to a week.
True to its name, evaporated milk is nothing more than thickened and concentrated milk, by way of evaporation of water content to about half of its original weight.
Tip: Dairy free milks like nut milks and soy milk will work just fine!
