Notes
- For the best flavor, store in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 7 days. Remove from the fridge 15-30 minutes before serving.
- While freezing is possible, it's not recommended as it can alter the texture; if needed, freeze for up to 2-3 months in a freezer-safe container.
