Materials

  • - 1 cup powdered milk
  • - 1 cup sugar
  • - 1/4 cup water
  • - 1 tablespoon vanilla essence

Instructions

Step 1: Dissolve the Sugar

  • **Combine Sugar and Water**: In a medium pot, mix 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water over medium-low heat.
  • **Heat Until Dissolved**: Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved. Be careful not to let the mixture boil or turn brown.

Step 2: Blend the Mixture

  • **Transfer to Blender**: Carefully pour the dissolved sugar mixture into a blender (preferably using a glass jar).
  • **Blend with Vanilla**: Blend for about a minute, then add 1 tablespoon of vanilla essence.

Step 3: Incorporate Milk Powder

  • **Add Milk Powder Gradually**: While the blender is running, gradually add 1 cup of powdered milk. Continue blending until all the milk powder is fully incorporated.
  • **Blend Thoroughly**: Blend the mixture for about five minutes. To avoid straining your blender, pause every minute for about 30 seconds.

Step 4: Adjust Consistency (Optional)

  • **Check Thickness**: If the mixture seems too thick, you can add 2-3 tablespoons of additional water while blending.
  • **Final Blend**: Ensure the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

Step 5: Store the Condensed Milk

  • **Transfer to a Jar**: Pour the homemade condensed milk into a glass jar.
  • **Cool and Refrigerate**: Let the mixture cool before sealing the jar. Store it in the refrigerator.
