But, but, but. . . . she has condensed milk, not evaporated milk. :-(
Hmmmm, I wonder if you could just use condensed milk in coffee instead
of milk and sugar.

regular condensed (evaporated) milk????

There's no such thing as condensed (evaporated) milk. They are not
interchangeable in recipes.

Evaporated is milk that has had some of the water boiled out of it.
It tastes like cooked milk. Carnation, Borden, or store branded.

Condensed is very thick and has sugar added; it's quite sweet.
Eagle or Nestle, a few Mexican brands or store branded. If you
condense it even further it makes a sweet caramel syrup called
"cajeta" in Spanish. It's one of the ingredients in the
"Tres Leches" Mexican cake.

Well, cajeta is made out of goat's milk. You are speaking of
dulce de leche.

Oops, my bad. I posted that without thinking.
Yes, dulce de leche. I have made it a few times by boiling
the whole can in a large kettle for a couple of hours, not
emptying the can into a pan as was recently mentioned here.

I'm guessing she was using the thick, sweetened stuff ‹ she said she
used it as a binder in a coconut topping; that makes more sense than
evaporated milk which would pour like regular milk ‹ can't see it as a
binder.

That's what my Mom used to do, kept a can of Eagle Brand in the fridge
and added it to her eight or ten cups of daily coffee. She also smoked
unfiltered Kool cigarettes. May be why she almost made it to 90 years of
age, she was preserved.

My mother did nasty things too. She went one worse than Eagle Brand
in her coffee. She used artificial crap. She also smoked menthols,
though they had filters.

Vietnamese coffee is often made with sweetened condensed milk, and
served hot or cold. Usually, I take my coffee black, or with just a
tiny bit of sugar. But sometimes, if we are in a Vietnamese restaurant,
or if we have some condensed milk left over from a pie recipe, I will
have one.

Cindy, usually a strictly-tea person, will occasionally have one, too.

and sugar, so not too different.
