Date Coffee
Dear Aunt Daisy, I should like to tell you of something that is very economica. °s well as very nice. All my friends are pleased with it. Bake some dates in the oven until hard, or hardened when cold after removal from the oven. Then keep in a jar until ready for use-for making date tea! The flavour is that of coffee. Six dates are placed in a coffee-pot, and boiling water poured over, as in making tea, and then brewed. Pour a little into each cup as required, and fill up with hot milk, as for making coffee. Now these dates in the pot can be left, and when coffee is required again, more hot water may be poured on, until the goodness is all used out of them. I do not always use so many. Sometimes I put two in a cup and pour water on them, and then use these about two or three times. It can be made strong or weak, just to suit one’s taste. It is a really lovely drink. Sugar can be added to taste.
