ingredients

  • 100 ml strong coffee
  • 200 g dried dates
  • 100 ml water
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 5 ground cardamom pods
  • 1 vanilla pod

preparation

Preparation

1. If there are pits in your dates, start by removing them. They can be a very unfortunate surprise, if not removed before eating.

2. Bring the coffee, water and sugar to a boil. Split open the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds. Add the vanilla (both pod and seeds) to the coffee along with the cardamom pods. When the sugar has dissolved, add the dates. Boil the dates for about 15 minutes until the coffee has cooked down to a thick syrup.
