I'm amazed at how great this was! It sounded too simple to be really any good, but I thought I'd give it a go anyway--and it was fantastic. I did think it was just a hair too sweet for my tastes, so I might slightly (very slightly) reduce the sugar next go around, and I feel like it's also a good base for a few mild tweaks--I might try adding a little crushed red pepper, for example, or maybe a dash of ginger. But exactly as written, it's really amazingly good!
