Notes
You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just remember to give it a quick stir before serving it again, as it may thicken slightly in the fridge. For an extra twist, consider adding a teaspoon of instant coffee to the mix for a mocha flavor. You can also replace honey or maple syrup with agave nectar for a vegan-friendly option.
