Ingredients:
- 5 ½ cups (44 oz) of milk
- 2 and 2/3 cups (21 oz) of sugar
Instructions:
- Pour the milk into a saucepan.
- Add the sugar and mix well until completely dissolved.
- Stay close to the saucepan while mixing to avoid spills.
- Heat over medium heat until it starts to boil, stirring occasionally.
- Once it boils, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue stirring to prevent it from overflowing.
- Keep stirring until the milk reduces and starts to thicken.
- When the milk reduces and begins to bubble, stir constantly to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Test for readiness: drop a bit of the candy into cold water; if it forms a ball that doesn’t dissolve, it’s ready.
- Remove from heat and continue stirring until the candy loses its shine.
- Drop the milk candy onto a surface or into a container and let it cool until it hardens.
- Serve and enjoy!
