• 4 cups whole milk

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2. 2Let the mixture gently simmer (do not boil) for about 35 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by about half and thickens slightly.
3. 3Keep an eye on the mixture to prevent it from scorching or forming a skin on top.
