You'll need

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 4 dates, pitted and chopped
  • 6 almonds, soaked and peeled
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder

Method

  1. Simmer the milk with the chopped dates for 8 minutes, until they soften.
  2. Blend the warm milk and dates with the soaked almonds until smooth.
  3. Strain if you like it silky, stir in the cinnamon, and serve warm.

Why this dish

Dates and almonds are both grounding, building foods in Ayurveda, exactly what a depleted Vata evening calls for, and the natural sweetness settles a restless mind better than refined sugar does.
