Notes:

1. You can add honey to this if you want. But the natural sweetness of dates and raisins was enough for us.
2. Always use chilled milk. Warm milk or hot milk will make the milkshake curdle.
3. You can use figs, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds also for this milkshake.
4. You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or chocolate ice cream on the top just before serving.
5. Also ice cream can be blended with the milkshake too.
6. You can add little saffron too to enhance the taste.
