evaporated milk
What is evaporated milk?
It's a milk product, usually sold canned, where up to 60% of the water has been removed.
It is popular because it has a long shelf life. Before the age of refrigeration, evaporated milk was a great product to have. Not only did it last long, but it could be transported easily without spoilage.
It can be used in coffee, tea, or to make toppings for desserts.
I use evaporated milk mostly in desserts like Jamaican Toto and the traditional Latin American Tres Leches
