Notes
My Top Tip
♡ Do not skip the tempering of the egg yolks, which prevents the egg from cooking too fast and making this beverage lumpy.
Make-Ahead, Storage, & Reheating Instructions
This beverage is best consumed soon after making it. It does not store well as a beverage. However, leftovers can be chilled and eaten as a pudding. Do not freeze or attempt to reheat.
