A handful of everyday ingredients creates a creamy drink with rich date sweetness and fragrant spice notes

Warm the milk with ginger and spices, then add Khajji Date Syrup after removing the saucepan from the heat.

Step 1 — Combine the Ingredients

Add 250 ml milk, ½ inch grated fresh ginger, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and 1 crushed cardamom pod to a saucepan.

Step 2 — Heat Gently

Warm over low to medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Avoid allowing the milk to boil vigorously.

Step 3 — Add Optional Turmeric

If desired, stir in ⅛ teaspoon turmeric while the milk is heating.

Step 4 — Remove from Heat

Take the saucepan off the heat once the milk is warmed and the spices are incorporated.

Step 5 — Cool Slightly and Sweeten

Allow the milk to cool slightly, then stir in 1 tablespoon Khajji Date Syrup.

Step 6 — Finish and Serve

Add a tiny pinch of black pepper if desired. Stir well and serve warm.

Pour into your favourite cup and enjoy while warm. Keep the cinnamon and cardamom for a gently spiced flavour, or include the optional turmeric and tiny pinch of black pepper for a more pronounced spice profile.

Khajji Date Syrup brings natural date sweetness, so the recipe doesn't require an additional sweetener by default.
