Ingredients

  • 4 cups goat's milk
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped out
  • ½ tsp baking soda dissolved in 1 Tbsp water

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla bean seeds, and vanilla bean pod to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, stirring often.
  2. Once the sugar has dissolved, stir in baking soda water. Continue to stir, scraping the sides and bottom of the pot with a rubber spatula to prevent it from sticking. Cook for up to 1 1/2 hours until the milk has thickened and caramelized into a golden brown color. Remove from heat.
  3. Remove the cinnamon stick and vanilla bean pod.
  4. Pour into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Classic Margarita

Margaritas hold a dear place in my family’s heart. Not only have we used my grandfather’s award-winning recipe at Casa Vega since 1956 but my father also wanted to name me Margarita, the Mexican equivalent of Margaret. Thankfully, my mom talked sense into him and made the point the daughter of Casa Vega can not be named Margarita. I may not be named after this special drink but the story will always make me smile.
