Add evaporated milk in the mixture, mix and combine.
In a small bowl, crack two eggs and beat the eggs until they are mixed well.
Pour the egg mixture into the water-milk mixture gradually, stir at the same time to ensure they are well combined.
Prepare another measuring cup and put a sieve on top of it. Pour the mixture into the new measuring cup through the sieve to remove any unmixed eggs or egg shells.
