TIPS
- Soften The Date First: Soak the Date in hot water for 5 minutes if not blending effortlessly.
- Use A Hand Blender: For a frothier texture, blend the final drink directly in the pan before serving.
- Don’t Overheat: Keep the temperature low to preserve the nutrients in almond milk and prevent bitterness.
- Add While Whisking: Stir continuously while adding date paste to avoid clumping.
- Optional Toppings: Sprinkle with ground cinnamon or crushed pistachios for added texture and flavour.
VARIATIONS
- Nut-Free Option: Use oat milk or coconut milk instead of almond milk for allergy-friendly variations.
- Protein Boost: Stir in a scoop of unflavoured vegan protein powder for a post-workout drink.
- Spiced Blend: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for a more layered spice profile.
- Date-Free Alternative: Substitute blended prunes or a spoon of pure maple syrup if dates are unavailable.
- Iced Version: Cool the drink and serve over ice in summer for a refreshing twist.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Make Ahead: Blend dates with milk and refrigerate in an airtight jar for up to 2 days before reheating.
- Storage: Store any leftover mixture in the fridge and reheat gently within 24 hours.
- Freezing Not Advised: Almond milk and dates may separate or change texture after freezing.
- Batch Preparation: Blend multiple servings of Date purée in advance and store in ice cube trays.
- Keep Spices Fresh: Store cardamom in an airtight container away from sunlight for maximum potency.
