Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup soy milk
  • ⅔ cup water
  • 3-4 small dates, chopped
  • 2 rounded teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom (or two pods)
  • A grind of black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat the soy milk and water in a small pot over medium heat (or in the microwave) until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.
  2. Meanwhile, blend the remaining ingredients in a high-speed blender until like a paste.
  3. Once these ingredients are blitzed together, add the hot liquid into the blender and blend again until frothy.
  4. Pour and serve!

Chef's Tips

  • Soy-free option: substitute soy milk for oat milk.
  • Bear in mind that there is wide variation among plant-milks and some froth well, while others barely froth at all. I have found that Vitasoy Protein Plus soy milk froths best.
