Cook slowly
Place the saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring often.
Let the mixture simmer gently for about 20 to 30 minutes, until it thickens and reduces.
Do not rush it with high heat. Condensed milk likes patience more than drama.
Check the texture
Once the mixture becomes creamy and coats the spoon well, remove it from the heat.
It will thicken a little more as it cools.
If you want it extra smooth, strain it briefly, but usually that is not necessary.
Cool and store
Let it cool, then pour into a clean jar.
Store in the fridge and use as needed.
