WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

Equipment

Sharp knife
Long spoon
Bowl
Matcha whisk or milk frother
High-speed blender
Tall glass
Wide straw

PREPARATION

Pit all yellow dates. Set aside the dates reserved for garnish and the dates reserved for the slush. Finely chop the dates for the bottom layer into irregular 1 to 2 mm pieces. Add them to the bottom of each glass with the hot water. Using the back of a long spoon, gently press and partially crush some of the fruit against the inside wall while keeping fine visible pieces.

Add the matcha and cold water to a bowl and whisk until smooth.

Add the prepared matcha, the yellow dates reserved for the slush and the ice to a high-speed blender. Blend until an exceptionally fine frozen slush forms.

Spoon the slush over the pressed yellow date base in each glass and let the two textures meet naturally rather than creating a perfectly straight layer.

Finish each drink with the garnish date and a very light dusting of matcha. Add a wide straw that reaches into the yellow date base and serve immediately.
