By KitchenGnome

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk
• 3/4 cup sugar (granulated or cane), honey, or maple syrup
• 4 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk together milk and sweetener in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisking often, bring to a low simmer. Continue to simmer, whisking often, until milk has reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Once reduced, remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Allow to cool completely and store in a mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
