Make it your own

A few simple steps.

Pour the milk into a blender. Add the chopped date, tahini, orange zest and salt. Secure the lid and blend until the date is finely broken down and the mixture looks smooth.
Pour the mixture into a small saucepan. Warm over low heat, stirring often, until steaming but not boiling, about 3–4 minutes.
Pour into a heat-safe mug and serve warm. Stir before sipping if a little date settles at the bottom.
