Ingredients

  • 3 quarts milk
  • 2 lbs. sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 t. baking soda
  • cinnamon stick
  • 2 egg yolks

NOTE;There is a shortcut for preparing arequipe. Put a can of sweetened condensed milk in a pot of boiling water. The water should fully cover the can which must not be opened. Boil it for about 5 hours,adding water constantly to compensate for evaporation. Let it cool down 30 minutes before opening the can and you'll get a pretty good arequipe
