How to Store Coffee Delight

Tips to Make Coffee Delight
- Watch the milk: I avoid boiling the milk because it can scorch. Warm it until it’s hot but not boiling to keep the flavor nice and smooth.
- Adjust sweetness: I tested this with different amounts of sugar. Start with a little, and you can always add more later. It’s easier to make it sweeter than to fix a too-sweet drink.
- Spice it up: I love adding cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor. Just a pinch goes a long way. This adds warmth and makes the drink feel more special.
