Condensed milk
Condensed Milk
Condensed milk is a form of cow's milk from which water has been removed and to which sugar has been added, yielding a very thick, sweet product that can be used in a variety of culinary applications.
Pronunciation
/kənˈdɛnsd mɪlk/
Etymology
The term "condensed milk" comes from the process of "condensation" where water is removed from the milk. This term has been in use since the product was first developed in the 19th century.
Production
Condensed milk is produced by removing the water from milk through a process of heating. The milk is then mixed with sugar until a thick consistency is achieved. The sugar acts as a preservative, allowing the milk to have a longer shelf life.
Uses
Condensed milk is often used in dessert recipes, such as pies, cakes, and candies. It is also a common ingredient in coffees and teas in some cultures.
