In a saucepan, combine milk and sugar and whisk it thoroughly over low to medium heat. Continue mixing for about 15 to 20 minutes or until you get a nice and thick mixture.
Turn off the heat and add your baking soda while the saucepan is still hot.
Set aside to cool down. Once the mixture cools, it will thicken and will be ready to use.
You can place It in an airtight container and refrigerate your homemade sweetened which will last for weeks.
For Homemade Coffee Creamer:
In a saucepan, mix your homemade condensed milk, milk, maple syrup, and arrowroot starch over medium heat.
Blend the mixture properly and let it cook for about 6-8 minutes or until it starts to thicken and you can see bubbles beginning to form.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add your vanilla extract.
Stir the mixture until the vanilla is mixed in properly and let the mixture cool down.
Once the mixture has cooled down, pour it into an airtight container and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
Make sure to use it as soon as possible. Your homemade coffee creamer will last for around 7 days.
Notes
For your milk, you can either use heavy cream, whole milk, half-and-half, skimmed milk, or almond milk as a replacement for milk depending on your preference.
