Hot Carob Cashew Drink

Here is another nice hot drink and a good alternative to hot chocolate.

(Takes about 3 min)

You need:
- a blender
- about 1l of boiling water
- 2 tblsp carob powder
- 10 small dates
- about 15 cashew nuts.

You do:
Put all ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth.

Use less or no cashews if you like it less creamy (fatty). Use less or no dates if you like it less sweet. Carob powder is already somewhat sweet. On the other hand, both whole dates and whole cashew nuts are HiFi - they won't harm you. So why not indulge?

Spiced Rooibos Latte

Are you a vegan and you wouldn't consume anything with caffeine, but you like a hot frothy drink once in a while? Try a spiced rooibos latte...

You need:
- a blender
- 500ml of boiling water 
- 3 tea bags of rooibos or the equivalent amount of loose tea
(my preferred version uses two bags of green and one bag of red rooibos)
- half a cup of dates
- a large pinch of cinamon
- a large pinch of ginger powder
- if you like you can also add a small pinch of any of those: cloves, nutmeg, cardamom

You do:
Brew the tea. Let it steep for 5 to 10min (make it strong). Pour the tea in the blender. Add the dates and the spices. Blend. Enjoy :)
