Description
Warm Date Milk is a comforting, spiced vegan beverage made by blending sweet Medjool dates with creamy soy milk and warming the mixture with aromatic cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom. This quick and easy recipe is perfect for cozy mornings or a soothing nightcap.
Ingredients
Dates and Soy Milk
- 8 Medjool dates, pitted
- 4 cups soy milk (divided, or another vegan milk of choice)
Spices
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
Instructions
- Blend Dates and Milk: In a high-speed blender, combine the pitted Medjool dates with 2 cups of soy milk. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth but maintains a slightly thick consistency.
- Heat the Mixture: Pour the blended date milk into a pan set over medium heat. Add the cinnamon, ground ginger, and cardamom to the pan. Stir and bring the mixture to a slow boil.
- Add Remaining Milk and Whisk: Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of soy milk, whisking continuously to ensure the spices dissolve completely and the liquid becomes hot without scalding.
- Serve: Once heated through and well combined, pour the warm date milk into cups and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and comforting warmth.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for natural sweetness and a rich, caramel-like flavor.
- You can substitute soy milk with any other plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom to taste for a spicier or milder drink.
- This drink is best served warm and consumed immediately for optimal flavor.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently before serving.
