Ingredients

2 cups of whole milk
1 cup of granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Combine the milk and sugar in a medium-sized saucepan.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves.
3. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until it reduces to about half its original volume and thickens, approximately 30-45 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and let it cool. The mixture will thicken further as it cools.

Storage

Store the cooled sweetened condensed milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Reheating

To reheat, gently warm the desired amount in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave at a low power, stirring occasionally until it reaches the desired consistency.
