Soak the Dates (Optional)
If your dates are firm or slightly dry, soak them in warm water for 10–15 minutes. This step softens them and helps release their natural sweetness.
Combine Ingredients
In a blender, add the milk, pitted dates, nuts, and optional seeds. For extra aroma, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom.
Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high speed for about 30–45 seconds, or until you achieve a creamy consistency. If it’s too thick, add more milk; if you prefer a thicker texture, use less milk or add a few ice cubes.
Taste and Adjust
Sample the mixture and adjust sweetness or thickness as needed. Dates usually provide ample sweetness, so you probably won’t need extra sugar or sweeteners.
Serve
Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately while it’s fresh and frothy.
