Afghan Snack Plate & Black Tea

PORTIONS
1 serving

TIME
5 minutes

TYPE
Study snack

I prepared this small plate while studying for an exam. It gave me steady energy for much longer than a random sweet snack, and the dates were especially satisfying.

Dates, dried apricots, almonds and pistachios served with black tea.
A quiet study snack with lasting energy.

Ingredients

  • 4 dates
  • 4 dried apricots
  • A small handful of almonds
  • A small handful of pistachios
  • 1 cup black tea
  • Hot water

Method

  1. Arrange the fruit and nuts on a small plate.
  2. Brew the black tea to your preferred strength.
  3. Serve together and eat slowly while studying, reading or taking a break.

My review

Simple, useful and genuinely enjoyable. The dried fruit provides quick energy, while the nuts make the snack more sustaining. I would make this again whenever I need something better than processed study snacks.
