  3. Add the plant-based milk and whisk until fully incorporated.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lemon juice for tanginess, salt for savoriness, or nutritional yeast for a cheesier flavor.
  5. Gently heat the sauce in a saucepan over low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until warm. Do not boil.
