How to make Homemade Condensed Milk

  1. In a pot, combine sugar and water over medium-low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not allow the mixture to boil or brown.

  3. Gradually incorporate the milk powder without stopping the blending.

  4. After all the milk powder is added, blend for about five minutes. To avoid straining the blender, you can turn it off every minute for 30 seconds.
