Homemade date honey is easy and fast to make. Sometimes I keep it neutral without spices, but I like the added OOMPH of flavor that cinnamon brings to it.
Ingredients
20 Medjool dates, pitted
1 cup very hot water
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Directions
Combine the dates, hot water and cinnamon, if using, and steep for 1 hour.
Puree the mixture in a blender or food processor until very creamy and thick.
Store the date honey, covered in the refrigerator for 1 month.
