A shot of BYS espresso poured straight over two Medjool dates. Ten minutes of patience while it steeps, then mashed (or blended, for something smoother) into a natural caramel. No syrup, no added sugar, just dates doing the work.
It's easy to see why this recipe has gone viral. Medjool dates bring a rich, caramel-like sweetness while also providing fibre and naturally occurring carbohydrates for a more wholesome alternative to traditional flavoured syrups. Paired with Before You Speak coffee, you'll get the bold coffee flavour you love alongside the functional benefits of your daily brew, creating a café-worthy iced latte that's both satisfying and naturally sweet.
Whether you're looking to cut back on refined sugar or simply want to switch up your morning coffee, this simple recipe proves that a handful of quality ingredients is all it takes to create something seriously delicious.
