List of Ingredients




2 quart milk
3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon soda
1 small piece stick cinnamon


Recipe



Combine 1 quart of the milk in a saucepan with the sugar, and cook over a low heat, stirring from time to time, until the mixture turns golden. Meanwhile, stir the soda into the remaining quart of milk in a saucepan. Add the cinnamon stick, and bring to a boil. Discard the cinnamon.
