Add cooked beetroot, dates, vanilla extract, and milk to a blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture into a saucepan over medium heat. Optional: strain through a sieve to remove fibre.
Add the cinnamon stick and maple syrup if using.
Heat gently, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Simmer for about 3 minutes, then remove the cinnamon stick.
Pour into mugs. Add espresso only if serving adults.
Serve warm and enjoy.
For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a sieve before heating.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup based on your preference.
Use plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
For a stronger cinnamon flavor, let the cinnamon stick steep longer before removing it.
