A fast, simple, and naturally sweet dessert that works well is boiling milk over dates. This delicious mixture packs a nutritional punch and tastes well, making it a terrific choice for a healthy dessert or a soothing drink before bed. Here's how to prepare this tasty dinner in only five minutes without using any additional sugar.
Why Are Dates in Hot Milk?
Dates are a fantastic natural source of sweetness. They provide several health benefits and are rich in vitamins, fiber, and minerals including potassium and magnesium. These two along with milk, which provides calcium and protein, create a nutritious powerhouse that naturally satisfies your sweet tooth and increases energy and bone health.
Components:
One cup of milk, either dairy-based or plant-based (almond, soy, or oat milk).
four to five Medjool dates, pitted and sliced
Rules:
To prepare, first pit and coarsely chop the dates into little pieces. As a consequence, they will soften more rapidly and completely infuse their sweetness into the milk.
Heat the milk. Pour the milk into a small saucepan and set it on the stovetop over medium heat. Watch the milk closely as it warms up to avoid boiling over.
Combine Milk with Dates: As soon as the milk is heated through but not boiling, remove it from the burner. Add the chopped dates to the milk and stir until well combined. To allow the natural sugars in the dates to be released into the milk, let the mixture a minute or two to settle.
Pour the warm milk and date mixture into a cup to serve. You may combine the mixture for a smoother texture or use the back of a spoon to crush the dates slightly to release additional flavor.
Have fun: Take a sip and savor the milk's inherent, creamy smoothness combined with the rich flavor of dates.
