Arrowroot Slurry-

2. Heat gently over low to medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns translucent but is still fully pourable.
3. Remove from heat and let cool for 12 minutes.
Date Paste-
1. Soak the pitted dates in the hot water for 35 minutes, or until softened.
2. Blend the dates with just enough soaking liquid to create a thick, smooth paste.
3. Measure out 1 tablespoon for the milk. Freeze the rest. |

Notes: This is one of those recipes that gets judged too early. Chill it first, then decide.
The weird ingredients are doing real jobs. This is not a throw it all in and hope recipe.
Arrowroot gives body. Lecithin gives stability. Baking soda smooths the flavor. Each one earns its place.
If this tastes off, dont immediately blame the whole recipe. Check salt, chill time, and whether you actually blended it long enough.
This is meant to drink like milk, not healthy milk substitute. Theres a difference.
A little settling is normal. Violent separation is not.
If you change the protein brand, the flavor balance may shift slightly.
Best cold. Better the next day.
Make-Ahead Notes
Both the arrowroot slurry and the date paste can be made ahead and frozen in measured portions, which makes future batches much faster.
Freeze extra arrowroot slurry in 1 teaspoon portions (or whatever amount your recipe uses most often).
Freeze extra date paste in 1 tablespoon portions.
Silicone mini ice cube trays work especially well for this.
Once frozen, transfer to a labeled freezer bag or container.
Defrost in the fridge or at room temp before using, or blend directly into the milk if your Vitamix is strong enough to handle it smoothly.
