How to Make Homemade Condensed Milk

  1. Pour 4 cups of whole milk into a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low, maintaining a gentle simmer. Cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  3. Add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar to the simmering milk. Continue to simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced to approximately 3 cups and has thickened to a desired consistency.
  4. Remove from heat and strain the condensed milk through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer to remove any lumps or impurities.
  5. Let cool completely. Your homemade condensed milk can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
