Cashew Rose Evening Hush

Cashew butter gives this cup a creamy background, date adds a gentle sweetness, and rose water supplies the delicate floral aroma. The rose should be measured in drops rather than splashes; too much is hard to undo. Blend the date fully before warming so the texture stays smooth. This is a softly flavored evening drink with a rounded finish, especially appealing if you prefer floral notes to strong spice. It doesn't need vanilla or cinnamon to make the combination feel complete.

Ingredients

• 8 oz Unsweetened oat milk
• 1 tsp Smooth cashew butter
• 1/16 tsp Food-grade rose water
• 1 fruit Soft pitted date

Make it

1. Prepare the ingredients as listed. Any grain, root vegetable or chestnut listed as cooked must already be fully cooked and cooled.
2. Blend the cold oat milk with any fruit, nuts, seeds, nut paste or cooked ingredients until completely smooth. Whisk powders with a spoonful of milk first if needed.
3. Pour into a small saucepan and add the remaining ingredients. Warm gently for 3–4 minutes while whisking; do not boil. Remove any whole peel or ginger slices before serving.
4. Thin with a splash of water if needed and sip once comfortably warm.

Benefits

Dates · a potassium contribution

Beside oat milk, cashew butter, and rose water, dates offers a little potassium, used by your body for maintaining normal fluid balance, as well as a caramel-like dried-fruit sweetness.

A warmer side of cashew butter

The oat milk, rose water, and dates carries a smooth, buttery nuttiness from cashew butter, giving you a fragrant warm drink to enjoy in place of an alcoholic nightcap.
