Milk Candies (Potato-shaped)

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the whole milk, piloncillo, and Mexican cinnamon stick.

Place the pot over medium-low heat and stir constantly until the piloncillo is completely dissolved.

Once the piloncillo has dissolved, add the baking soda to the mixture. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, being careful not to let it boil over.
