Coconut And Dry Dates Recipe With Fresh Milk By Natural Recipes | Easy and Quick Recipe
507Here's a recipe for a delicious and nutritious drink made with dry dates, coconuts, and milk:
Ingredients:
10-12 dry dates
1 medium-sized coconut
2 cups of milk (you can use regular cow's milk or a dairy-free alternative like almond milk or coconut milk)
2-3 tablespoons of honey (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder (optional)
Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Dry Dates:
Remove the pits from the dry dates and chop them into small pieces. If your dates are too hard, you can soak them in warm water for about 15 minutes to soften them.
Extract Coconut Milk:
Break open the coconut and collect the coconut water. You can do this by making a small hole in one of the coconut's eyes and draining the water into a bowl. This coconut water is often sweet and refreshing, and you can drink it as is or use it in the recipe.
To extract coconut milk, you'll need to scrape the coconut flesh from the shell. You can use a coconut scraper or a knife to carefully separate the white coconut flesh from the shell.
Grate the coconut flesh finely using a grater.
Place the grated coconut in a blender or food processor and add a cup of warm water. Blend for a minute or two until you have a thick, creamy mixture.
Strain the coconut milk through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl. This will extract the creamy coconut milk. You can press the grated coconut with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. This will be your thick coconut milk.
Repeat the process by adding another cup of warm water to the grated coconut and blending again. Strain this mixture to get a thinner coconut milk. This will be used later in the recipe.
Blend the Ingredients:
In a blender, combine the chopped dry dates, thick coconut milk, and regular milk (or dairy-free alternative).
Blend until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are well combined.
Sweeten and Flavor:
Add honey to the mixture. Start with 2 tablespoons and adjust according to your sweetness preference.
Optionally, add cardamom powder for extra flavor. It complements the sweetness of the dates and coconut well.
Final Blending:
Blend the mixture once more to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Serve:
Pour the date, coconut, and milk mixture into glasses.
You can add ice cubes if you want a chilled drink.
Garnish with a sprinkle of cardamom powder or a few strands of saffron for a touch of elegance.
Enjoy your homemade dry dates, coconut, and milk drink! It's a nutritious and refreshing beverage that's perfect for a snack or breakfast.
