Steps:
- IMPORTANT NOTE #1! You know your stove best. Some people's burner temperatures run hot, some run cooler, so adjust as you see fit.
- IMPORTANT NOTE #2! Keep in mind that as milk heats up, it tends to expand and want to boil over rapidly so this is why you want to stir, stir, STIR and always use a big pot.
- Pour the milk into a LARGE heavy-bottomed saucepan (size is important here, especially if you are going to scald it slightly in step 2).
- While stirring continuously, heat the milk over medium heat (or medium-high heat if you want a slightly scalded taste), until it comes to a simmer.
- NOTE: Keep in mind that as the milk heats up, it tends to expand and want to boil over so this is why you want to stir, stir, STIR and always use a big pot.
- If you're scalding it, continue stirring and let it cook for 2-3 minutes at the high heat. DO NOT WALK AWAY from this or else you'll end up with an overflowing burnt mess.
- Once the milk is scalded, or if you're skipping that step, reduce the heat to low/medium-low and continue simmering (leave the pan uncovered), stirring occasionally, until the milk is reduced by about half. This should take about 30-40 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Pour into a glass jar and refrigerate. Use within 5 days. It can also be frozen.

DAIRY-FREE EVAPORATED MILK
Use this as a substitute for canned evaporated milk in all your favorite sweets recipes. I have used it in Recipe #101104 and Recipe #78088 both with great success. (the caramel sauce was used to make Recipe #31128 - gorgeous and delish!) no one even suspected that either dish was made with cocnut milk, as the flavor is tempered by the rice milk, allowing the other, stronger flavors to shine.

Steps:
- shake can of coconut milk well to incorporate the "cream" that solidifies at the top of the can.
- Combine with the rice milk in a heavy-bottomed pot on medium-high heat. Stirring occasionally, bring to slow boil. turn heat to lowest setting and let simmer, stirring occasionally until liquid has reduced by half. cooking time is very approximate. Measure evaporated milk as needed to ensure it has reduced sufficiently.
- When finished, pour into a container and allow to cool to room temp before covering and placing in the fridge. Once cooled, the mixture will separate. That is easily remedied by whisking just before use and does not affect taste or outcome.
- Perfect for making ahead and will keep 2-3 days refridgerated.
Tips:
- For a thicker evaporated milk, simmer it for a longer period of time.
- To make sure the mixture doesn't scorch, stir it constantly.
- If you don't have almond milk, you can use another type of plant-based milk, such as oat milk, soy milk, or cashew milk.
- You can also make evaporated milk using cow's milk, but it will not be dairy-free.
- Evaporated milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
