Ingredients for milk toffee :
2 liter whole milk (raw milk! Even better!)
1kg granulated sugar
2 vanilla pods, halved and gratted (*)

Direction :
1) Place your milk in a jam basin or a thick bottom saucepan. Add the vanilla seeds* and the sugar. Stir well and start cooking on a gentle heat.
2) It will take 2h of cooking to realize this milk toffee. You will have to stir the mixture every 5 minutes for the whole lenght of the cooking process.
After a while, you will notice that the liquid will gradualy change texture(thicken)and color(browning).The liquid will reduce by half by the end of the cooking process.
3) As soon as the mixture has reach the texture of liquid honey, pour the boiling liquid into your jars. Close them thightly and place them up side down until they have fully cooled down.

I really think that nothing is more conforting than a couple of slices of toasted brioche, spread with some milk toffee and a cup of hot chocolate on a grim, cold winter day...

* Nowadays, vanilla pods are quite expensive, so you can replace them by a couple of packets of vanilla sugar.
