This is a great replacement for that morning glass of milk given to children.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds – raw, organic, unpolished
- 6 – 8 almonds
- 6 – 8 dates, pitted
- 1 cardamom /⅛ tsp cinnamon /4 – 5 strands of saffron (for flavour)
- ¾ cup drinking water
Method
In a small blender, blend sesame seeds, almonds and the flavouring together, until it forms a powder. Then, add the dates and blend until you obtain a thick paste-like consistency. Add some water if required, to make it smoother. Add more water to obtain the consistency of a shake. Transfer to a tall glass and serve.
Note
Soaking the sesame seeds and almonds for 4-6 hours is also a good idea to prepare a creamier shake (drain the soaking water before blending).
