Homemade Coffee Ingredients

Not many things are required to make this special drink. You need 10-12 dried dates seeds, 2 cups water, half cup milk, honey or sugar as per taste and a little cinnamon powder. If you want more flavor then you can also add cardamom powder to it. All these things are easily available at home and delicious drinks can be prepared at low cost.

Step 1: Prepare Date Seeds

First of all, wash the date seeds thoroughly with water so that the sweetness and dirt on them gets cleaned. After this, dry the seeds completely in the sun or under a fan. Roast the dry seeds in a pan on low flame for 10-15 minutes. When the seeds start smelling like coffee and their color becomes darker, then turn off the gas.

Step 2: Make seed powder

When the roasted seeds cool down completely, put them in a mixer grinder and grind them finely. The prepared powder will look exactly like coffee powder. You can also store this powder in an airtight container for several days. It can be used immediately when needed.

Step 3: Prepare the Coffee Drink

Now heat water in a pan and add 2 teaspoons of date seed powder in it. Let it boil for 5-7 minutes so that the entire flavor gets absorbed into the water. After this add milk and cook again for two minutes. Now filter it and add honey or sugar as per taste and serve hot.

Besides, its taste is also quite different and rich. For those who want to avoid drinking too much coffee, this can prove to be a healthy option.
