I only have it in the morning, very early. Never touch it more than once a day. I've missed lots of days of it; in my case it doesn't seem to bother me not having it. But, I enjoy that morning ritual, just sitting there when all is quiet near the crack of dawn, staring out the window or reading, with that cup of warmth, appropriately seasoned to be bittersweet, nutty tasting. Mmmmm.
