Directions

1

Pour milk into large saucepan, add the two cups of sugar and cook over low flame, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the milk boils.

When it starts to boil, pour in the lime juice.

3

The milk will curdle almost instantaneously and you should use the spoon to break large curds into smaller ones.

4

Add the cloves and let the mixture simmer slowly, until you have very little liquid left and the curds turn a golden color.

5

Let cool and refrigerate.

6

Serve it in a beautiful glass bowl!
