Tahini Date End Credits

A soft date gives this cup a gentle caramel-like sweetness, while tahini adds a slightly savory sesame note. Cinnamon provides warmth without making the drink feel heavily spiced. Blend the date completely before heating, or you'll find chewy pieces at the bottom of the mug. The sesame flavor should stay noticeable but not bitter. This is a rounded, creamy evening drink for someone who wants a little richness without turning the last cup of the day into dessert.

Ingredients

• 8 oz Unsweetened oat milk
• 1 tsp Tahini, stirred
• 1 fruit Soft pitted date
• 1/16 tsp Ground cinnamon

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

You get a small potassium contribution from dates in the oat milk, tahini, and cinnamon mixture, supporting maintaining normal fluid balance alongside a caramel-like dried-fruit sweetness.

A warmer side of cinnamon

The oat milk, tahini, and dates carries a sweet-smelling spice note from cinnamon, giving you a fragrant warm drink to enjoy in place of an alcoholic nightcap.
