For a richer flavor, use dark spiced rum. Ensure the cans are always covered in water during simmering to prevent any accidents. Sterilizing the bottle ensures a longer shelf life for your liqueur. Experiment with different spices in the rum, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, for a unique twist.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Caramel Base: Remove the labels from the sweetened condensed milk cans. Place the cans in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and completely submerge them in water, ensuring there are a few inches of water above the cans. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Simmer to Perfection: Bring the water to a vigorous boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and gently simmer for 4 hours. Throughout this process, meticulously monitor the water level, replenishing as needed to maintain at least an inch of water covering the cans. This is crucial for even caramelization and preventing explosions. (4 hours)
03 Step
Recipe View Cooling and Transformation: After the 4-hour simmer, carefully remove the cans from the hot water and allow them to cool completely for approximately 35 minutes. This gradual cooling is essential for the caramel to stabilize. (35 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Emulsify and Bottle: Once cooled, open the cans and delicately scrape the now beautifully browned and caramelized milk into a mixing bowl. Gently whisk in the spiced rum until the mixture is perfectly smooth and homogenous. (5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Preserve and Enjoy: Pour the caramel liqueur into a sterilized bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Properly stored in the refrigerator, this homemade delight will maintain its exquisite flavor for 2-3 months.
