Today I made date syrup and almond milk. The ingredients were dates and water, and almonds and water, respectively.

In the first case, I soaked the dates in hot water for five minutes, then applied a blender; this took far longer than expected, but was well worth it. Actually I think the main ingredient is patience. Two parts dates, one part water.

In the second case, the almonds had already been soaked overnight and drained. I applied a juicer. Two parts almonds, two and a half parts water.

Both suuuuuper good. I might use date syrup for anything that requires any kind of sweetening in future.
