    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  3. 3
    Add the butter, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and stir.
    Stove
  4. 4
    Pour into serving bowls, drizzle with the tahini and honey, sprinkle with the nuts and serve hot.
