Notes
Here are some tips and tricks I’ve picked up:
Milk choice: Use almond or coconut milk for a different flavor.
Add toppings: Sprinkle cinnamon on top for extra aroma or add whipped cream for indulgence.
Make ahead: Prepare the base ahead of time and reheat when needed.
Customize it: Adjust spices and sweetness to your liking for a more personal touch.
