Step 1: Open the can. Don’t sniff it—it smells weirdly sweet and metallic, but that’s normal.
Step 2: Pour 1 cup of evaporated milk into a pitcher. Then add 1 cup of cold water.
Step 3: Whisk or shake vigorously. You want it fully combined, like a little milky dance.
Step 4: Chill it for 30 minutes. Cold evaporated milk + water = magic. Serve it over cereal, in coffee, or just chug it (we won’t judge).
Pro Tips to Make It Even More Fun
