What do you get when you combine dates with maca…? Caramel. Not the sickly kind though. No, I’m talking the earthy, malty, bear-hug kind, that feels like you’ve just put on a big woollen jumper.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups plant milk
- 4 dates
- 1 Tbsp maca
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract or ¼ tsp vanilla powder
- Pinch sea salt
Method:
- Add all ingredients to a blender, and blend for 1 minute on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Serve as is or with a few cubes of ice for a cold Maca Latte. For a hot Latte, heat gently in a pan until hot but not boiling, then serve immediately. Any leftover milk pour into a glass bottle, seal tightly, and store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
- Enjoy!
Buffy’s tips:
- Make it keto – replace the coconut sugar with stevia, monk fruit or erythritol to taste.
- First time I made it with 4 big dates and it was perfect, second time it needed 8 smalls – so taste as you go and decide what works for you!
