Method

  1. 01

    Caramelize the sugar

    Put 4–5 tablespoons of the sugar in a heavy-based pot and heat until melted and caramel-colored. Lower the heat and add about 100 ml of the milk; stir carefully until the caramel dissolves.

    Gradually add the remaining milk, stirring to blend in the caramel. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the volume has reduced to about 750 ml. Stir in the remaining sugar and cook for 10 more minutes over low heat.
