Ingredients

  • 4 cups milk 2% for me
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a pot, pour the milk and warm it up. Add the lemon juice, set aside to cool down.
  • After 30 minutes, the milk has curdled.
  • Put the pot back on the heat, add the sugar and the cinnamon.
  • Bring it to a gentle simmer and reduce to medium low. Cook for an hour to an hour and half, stirring often.
  • Your dulce de leche is done when there is no more milk and it looks like ground beed.
  • Store in a air tight container in the fridge for a week (will not last that long!)
