Simple Pleasures: Milk and Dates Dates, which are naturally sweet and have a taste similar to caramel, are a nutritional treasure trove. In terms of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, they’re second to none. Milk, which is rich in calcium and protein, makes for a complete, healthy, and delicious dessert. So, what’s the best option? It requires minimal effort and only a handful of components.
What you need:
One cup of milk, either regular or soy-based, whichever you like
For easy eating, pit and cut four to six dates.
For an extra touch of spice and flavor, feel free to add a sprinkle of cinnamon or cardamom.
Instructions given:
Put the Milk on Low Heat: Pour the milk into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer. If you want to keep the relaxing benefits without burning it, heat it up, but don’t boil it.
In a serving cup, place the pitted and sliced dates. While the milk is warming, set aside. While the dates are still warm, sprinkle them with whatever spices you choose, such cinnamon or cardamom.
Marvel as you carefully pour the hot milk over the cup’s spices and dates. Give the milk a quick whisk to combine, and the dates will soften and release their sugar.
Behold the Miracle: Allow the concoction to rest for a minute or two. The flavors combine and the dates soften over this short time, making for a delightful combination.
