Notes

Adjust the spices to your taste. For a stronger flavor, let the mixture simmer a little longer. Use fresh spices for the best flavor, and experiment with other spices like black pepper or nutmeg for a unique twist. To store, let it cool completely and transfer to an airtight container; keep in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze in ice cube trays for longer storage.
