  • In a cup, dissolve the baking soda in the water. Set aside.
  • Mix the milk with the sugar in a saucepan and heat until it begins to boil. Then reduce to medium heat and, while stirring continuously, add the water with the baking soda in a thin stream (be careful not to leave any baking soda at the bottom of the cup). Continue cooking and stirring with a spoon for 50-60 minutes or until the mixture that adheres to the back of the spoon takes on a clean caramel color.
  • Transfer the mixture to another container, add the vanilla essence, stir, and let cool. Cover and refrigerate.
