Step 1
Soak figs in hot water for 30 minutes or in water at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours or more until they soften.
Step 2
If you have dried figs which are soft, then no need to soak them. If the dried figs are chewy and hard, then do soak them.
Step 3
You can also soak dates if they are hard or chewy. If they are soft, then no need to soak dates. You can opt to soak the almonds, cashews and the remaining nuts.
Step 4
Rinse the remaining nuts, dates and raisins except the saffron in a strainer or bowl. This is an optional step.
Step 5
You could also choose to soak these nuts and raisins in hot water for 30 minutes. If you prefer, you can peel the almonds. For small kids, I recommend to peel the almond and the pistachio skins.
Step 6
Once the figs have softened, then roughly chop them. Also roughly chop the dates.
Step 7
Then add all of nuts, raisins, chopped dates, figs and saffron in a blender.
Step 8
Add ½ cup soy milk (or any nut milk or dairy milk). Blend to a semi fine or fine paste. If making for small kids, then make a very fine paste.
Step 9
Then add the remaining 2 cups of the soy milk. You can also add raw sugar if you prefer.
Step 10
Blend well again. Pour in glasses.
Step 11
Garnish with a few dry almond or pistachio slivers and serve dry fruits milkshake immediately.
Step 12
Store any leftovers in the refrigerate for a few hours, but try to drink the milkshake the same day.½
