Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover white sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, warm it gently on low heat in a saucepan, stirring frequently to prevent separation. If the sauce thickens, add a splash of water or additional vinegar to reach your desired consistency.
