Creamy Dates and Nuts Milk

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or coconut milk)
• 4-5 dates, pitted and finely chopped
• A handful of mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios), roughly chopped
• Optional:
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon for a cozy flavor
  • A few drops of vanilla extract for a hint of sweetness

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Finely chop the dates and nuts to help them blend well into the milk.
2. Heat the Milk:
   • In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk over low to medium heat. Don’t let it boil, just get it warm enough to blend the ingredients.
3. Add Dates and Nuts:
   • Stir in the chopped dates and mixed nuts into the warm milk. Add the cinnamon or vanilla extract if you’re using them.
4. Simmer:
   • Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The dates will soften, and the flavors will infuse into the milk.
5. Serve:
   • Pour the milk into a cup. You can enjoy it warm for a cozy treat or let it cool and chill it in the fridge for a refreshing drink.

This simple yet satisfying drink can be a comforting evening beverage or a nutritious snack!
