Tips

- Let it cool for 1 - 2 hours before using it so that it has time to thicken.
- Stir it often while it heats to prevent it from burning on the bottom of the pan.
- It should be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It can stay fresh for 2 - 4 weeks.
- If you need it longer than 2 - 4 weeks, you can freeze it in an ice cube tray.
