Instructions

Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods and crush them finely in a mortar.
Chop the dates and soak them for 10 minutes in a little warm water to soften them.
In a blender, blend the dates and their soaking water until you get a smooth paste.
Add the yogurt, date paste, cardamom, sugar and a pinch of salt.
Blend until the drink is smooth and frothy, adding milk if it's too thick.
Pour into glasses, add ice cubes if you like, and serve well chilled.
