- Preparation: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (220 g)

Ingredients
- 30 g Molasses
- 180 g Water

Method
- Whisk the date syrup, for which molasses stands in well, into the cold water until fully dissolved.
- Chill well, or serve over plenty of ice.
- Pour into a glass and scatter the pine nuts and raisins on top just before serving, so they float and add crunch.
