History of sweetened condensed milk and how to make one at home

Frankly speaking, home-made condensed milk is always preferred and better than the one you do buy  from a shopping mall or supermarket. That is why majority see it as the best natural milk. Before we move on, you may ask:

What  is condensed milk?

Wikipedia defines Condensed milk as cow's milk from which water has been removed. It is most often found in the form of sweetened condensed milk (SCM), with sugar added, and the two terms "condensed milk" and "sweetened condensed milk" are often used synonymously today."  Sweetened condensed milk is a very thick, sweet product which when properly made can last for years without refrigeration if not opened. Condensed milk is used in numerous dessert dishes in many countries.

A related product is evaporated milk, which has undergone a more complex process and which is not sweetened as condensed milk.Evaporated milk is renamed in some regions or  countries as unsweetened condensed milk. 

 History of sweetened condensed milk

Historically, according to the works of Marco Polo, condensed milk was first known by the Tatars,Turkic people living mainly in Russia and other Post-Soviet countries who leaved  in the 13th century.  Marco Polo  also reported that ten pounds (4.5 kg) of milk paste was carried by each man, who would subsequently mix the product with water. However, this probably refers to the soft Tatar curd  known as katyk, which can be made into a drink (ayran) by diluting it, and therefore refers to fermented, not fresh, milk concentrate.

Afterward, there was Nicolas Alpert condensed milk in France 1820 and Gali Borden, Jr., in 1853, in the united state. The ideas of condensed milk came in response  to the reaction of how difficulties it takes in storing milk for more than a few hours. Before this development, milk could be kept fresh for only a short while and was available only in the immediate vicinity of a cow.
