Go to the store and buy sweetened condensed milk and boiled milk.

Choose Eagle brand for the best results; avoid cans with pop tabs to prevent explosions when boiling.

Remove the paper from the cans and label them with a Sharpie: 'Eagle' for the Eagle brand and 'Lera' for the Lera brand.

Submerge the cans in a large pot of water (10 or 12 quart pot).

Boil on high heat for 3 and 1/2 hours, monitoring closely to ensure the water does not boil out.

Add more water as needed during the boiling process to prevent the cans from exploding.

After 3 and 1/2 hours, turn off the heat and wait for the cans to cool down before opening them.

Open the cans one by one using a can opener and observe the differences in color and texture of the boiled milk.
