For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of whole milk in the milk mixture. To prevent the meringue from weeping, make sure the cake is completely cool before frosting, and serve the cake within a day or two. A splash of rum or brandy can be added to the milk mixture for an extra layer of flavor. You can broil the meringue for a few seconds to toast it lightly (watch carefully to avoid burning).
