How to Make Evaporated Milk

Step 1

In a non-stick heavy bottom saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer over medium heat (the milk will cook onto the sides of the pan, so using a non-stick pan will be so much easier to clean).

Step 2

Once it simmers, turn down the heat to medium-low and let it gently simmer, stirring the milk occasionally to make sure it's not getting scorched on the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Simmer the milk for about 25 minutes or until it's reduced down to roughly 1 1/2-1 1/4 cups of liquid.

Step 4

Once the milk has reduced and turned a creamy color pass it through a sieve remove any skin. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 5

Store the evaporated milk covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
