To begin, place the milk and sugar in a saucepan and mix well. Add a pinch of baking soda and heat the mixture over low heat. It's important to watch carefully to prevent burning and stir occasionally to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Over time, the mixture of milk, sugar, and baking soda will begin to change color and thicken. This is when the magic happens and the dulce de leche begins to form. Continue stirring and cooking until it reaches your desired consistency – more liquid or firmer, depending on your personal preference.
