I use sweetened evaporated milk as a base, cut it with whole milk and add any flavor that suits me at the time. I use Watkins flavorings because they taste the best. My current favorite is a few drops of caramel and a few drops of peppermint. I don't know why but that combination is really tasty.
That's an interesting combination. How much whole milk do you use to cut the sweetened evaporated milk? Is it equivalent to a sweetened Half and Half?
