Hot Date

When it comes to honey, you can call me Winnie The Pooh! I really love honey!

Today, though, there’s something else that caught my taste bud’s attention. Silan date syrup! This Mediterranean treat is made by steaming dates and pressing them. It’s made from 100% dates and it tastes like dates with a hint of molasses.

So I made a cocktail to showcase this wonderful deliciousness. I added some heat because, why not? Enjoy!
