Instructions
- Heat Milk: Heat the 4 cups of milk in a heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat, taking care not to bring it to a boil to avoid scorching.

Notes

- Use whole milk for the creamiest texture; for a lighter option, substitute with 2% milk or a milk alternative, but results may vary.
- Be sure not to boil the milk to prevent a burnt or uneven flavor.
- Customize toppings to your liking for added texture and taste.
