I don't know exactly how long it takes, but when it does boil it will also scorch the bottom of your pan. Generally a recipe will say "scald milk", and this means heat it only to the point of boiling then remove it from heat.

The cream in the milk will rise to the top while the water boils beneath it forcing the cream to move upwards and possibly boil out of the pot. The cream for the milk burns easily when it is on the bottom so stirring frequently is a necessity.

Boiling milk will curdle. It should be heated slowly but not boiled. The pasteurization process works much faster making the milk hot enough to kill bacteria without giving it a chance to boil.
