Date Latte – Super Creamy Drink To Calm Your Mind
Equipment
- Microwave Safe Mug
- Blender
- A Big Spoon
- Coffee Mugs
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk If You Prefer Homemade, Go For It
- 1 tbsp Almond Butter
- 4 Medjool date Pitted & Roughly Chopped
- ½ tsp Cinnamon Grounded
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Pure
- Black Coffee For Serving Strong
Instructions
- Start with brewing your favorite coffee.
- Now, take almond milk and pour it into a microwave safe mug. Add the Medjool dates as well.
- Let it microwave for 2-3 minutes so that the milk gets warm and the dates become soft.
- Next, you need to put the mixture of date & milk, almond butter, coffee, cinnamon, and vanilla extract into a blender.
- Turn on the blender at a low speed and gradually increase the speed. Blend everything until it becomes smooth.
- Take a big spoon to block the foam and pour the mixture into the mugs. Also, pour some coffee from the top of the coffee mug.
- Finally, top it up with as much foam as you prefer. Now you can enjoy your drink!
Notes
- If you are not a date person, then you can just keep them aside and add honey to sweeten them.
- Remove the pits in the dates, and if you purchase pre-pitted dates, you must know that a pit can hide anywhere, so make sure to double-check properly. Be sure to remove any pits in the dates.
- If you don’t have a microwave, then you can do the third-step on top of a stove also. Just add milk & dates to a small saucepan, and heat it until the milk gets warm and the dates are soft.
- If the mixture appears to be of grainy texture and you don’t prefer that, then you need to blend it for some more time. Plus, you can strain the mixture using a fine mesh while pouring it into the mugs.
