The older I get, the more I appreciate recipes with a clear point of view, and Hot Spiced Date Milk Drink certainly has one. A beautiful drink can change the mood of an ordinary afternoon in the nicest way. I hope it brings a bright little pause to your day.
Ingredients
- 7 dates, pitted
- 2 cups whole milk+ 2 cups (room temperature)
- 1 tsp cinnamon, ground
- 1 tsp cardamom, ground
- 1 tsp ginger, ground
- Honey to taste
Instructions
- Blend the dates with 2 cups milk and the spices until smooth. Heat over low heat while whisking to cook the dates add another 2 cups of milk heat through and serve.
- For garnish I topped with crushed walnuts, desiccated coconuts and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Notes
- If you prefer a thinner consistency you can always add 1 more cup milk.
