Notes

Pro Tip - If not using this paste immediately, refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Here, low fat milk is used as other ingredients as quite rich. But if preferred, full fat milk can be used.
You can use any sweetener of your choice. Some recipes (though not traditional) even add honey or Stevia in place of sugar.
The quantity of sugar used in the above recipe was around 3 tbsp. You may increase or decrease as per personal choice. 
Almond milk or any plant based milk may be used to make this completely vegan, although the final taste might vary a bit.
