Preparation Time:
30
Note:
A simple and economical sweet. Ideal for taking advantage of milk that has curdled due to the Cuban heat, although we can also curdle fresh milk with lemon juice.
Ingredients:
  • 1 liter of whole milk
  • 1 ounce of lemon juice
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 1 pinch of salt
Instructions:

Put the milk in a saucepan and add 1 ounce of lemon juice. Boil it with some pieces of lemon peel.

When the milk starts to boil, the whey will separate and white clumps will form. Add the sugar, a pinch of salt, and the cinnamon. Let it boil and stir relatively frequently. The more you stir, the more the clumps break apart, so it's better not to touch it too much.

When it is drying and the syrup forms, you can remove it from the heat.

Remove the cinnamon sticks and lemon peels; they look nice in the photo as we did in this case, but they are not pleasant in the mouth.

Enjoy it!!
