  • pinch of salt

  • 3⁄4 cup (190ml) water

  • 30g pitted dates soaked in hot water for at least 30 minutes

METHOD:

  1. For the date syrup, blend drained dates (reserve soaking liquid), coconut milk and salt in a high speed blender until smooth & combined. Add sufficient date soaking liquid to form a syrup.
