Ingredients:
6-8 Medjool dates (pitted)
1 cup whole milk (or any milk of your choice)
A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
A drizzle of honey (optional for extra sweetness)
Directions:
Prepare the dates: Begin by removing the pits from the dates if they haven’t already been pitted. Slice them in half to help them soak up the milk more easily.
Heat the milk: In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. You can also heat it in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds.
Combine the dates and milk: Place the sliced dates in a bowl and pour the hot milk over them. Allow them to soak for a minute or two. The hot milk will soften the dates, making them even more delicious and creamy.
Add flavor: If you’d like, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the mixture or drizzle a little honey on top for added sweetness.
Mix and enjoy: Stir the dates into the milk, allowing them to fully absorb the flavors. You'll notice the texture becomes smooth and velvety. You can eat this treat immediately or let it cool slightly.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: This date and milk combination can be served warm as a comforting dessert or snack. It’s also great as a topping for oatmeal or yogurt. You can serve it in small bowls or glasses for a visually appealing treat.
Storage: If you have leftovers, store the mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. When ready to eat, you can reheat it gently in the microwave or enjoy it cold.
