Notes

- If you use unsweetened milk, you should add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the sauce.
- Replacing fresh milk with coconut milk is a great way to change up the recipe and adds a touch of fattiness.
- Chicken stock or plain water are also viable alternatives for milk.
- You can store the sauce in a fridge for about one week. Remember to transfer them to a clean and airtight container first.
