1 cup water
sweetener (skip for babies)
1/4 tsp green cardamom powder (skip for babies)
Method: whether the juice is for a baby, kid or an adult, the process is the same.
Clean up the dates using a brush, as these have lot of debris accumulated on them.
Break open and remove the seed and discard.
You can do this in bulk and store them in an air tight dry jar.
Alternately you can soak them as it is and remove the seed later.
But if you break open, you can inspect & get rid of unwanted particles.
Wash thoroughly the required amount of dates in lot of water before you use.
Drain them.
Bring one cup of water to a boil, off the heat and add these dates.

For babies above 10 months: just mash up the soaked dates thoroughly, filter and discard the pulp.
Use this juice within the next 2 hours.
You can use a feeding bottle to feed this juice.
If you do not like the flavor of dry dates.
