Instructions
Start with brewing your favorite coffee.
Now, take almond milk and pour it into a microwave safe mug. Add the Medjool dates as well.
Let it microwave for 2-3 minutes so that the milk gets warm and the dates become soft.
Next, you need to put the mixture of date & milk, almond butter, coffee, cinnamon, and vanilla extract into a blender.
Turn on the blender at a low speed and gradually increase the speed. Blend everything until it becomes smooth.
Take a big spoon to block the foam and pour the mixture into the mugs. Also, pour some coffee from the top of the coffee mug.
Finally, top it up with as much foam as you prefer. Now you can enjoy your drink!
Notes
If you are not a date person, then you can just keep them aside and add honey to sweeten them.
Remove the pits in the dates, and if you purchase pre-pitted dates, you must know that a pit can hide anywhere, so make sure to double-check properly. Be sure to remove any pits in the dates.
If you don't have a microwave, then you can do the third-step on top of a stove also. Just add milk & dates to a small saucepan, and heat it until the milk gets warm and the dates are soft.
If the mixture appears to be of grainy texture and you don't prefer that, then you need to blend it for some more time. Plus, you can strain the mixture using a fine mesh while pouring it into the mugs.
