2041. Date Caramel Frappuccino

Quarantine coffee, or Dalgona coffee, has become a classic that promises to never ever leave us. This version is spruced up with a date "caramel", which is essentially just pureed mashed dates cooked stove top, heightened with a sprinkle of sea salt. Put the cooled date mash, ice, coffee, and cold milk, and you've got your summer survival drink of the year. The coffee element and the date "caramel" are made enough for multiple drinks, so they are stored in the freezer (coffee) and refrigerator (dates) for quick and effortless mornings.

1/2 cup instant coffee granules

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup warm water

1 cup dates

1 cup water

sea salt

1 cup milk

Combine the coffee, sugar, and water, and whip either using an electronic or manual whisk until it is thick and light in color and has the texture of whipped cream. Store in a sealed tupperware in the freezer.
