Dates With Coffee And Cardamom

1. 1

   If using regular supermarket brand yogurt (not Greek), drain in a paper towel lined sieve set over a bowl for 1 hour. Discard liquid.

2. 2

   If necessary to put dates, slit them lengthwise along 1 side and remove and discard pits. Put dates in a heatproof bowl.

3. 3

   Bring espresso, sugar, cardamom pods, and cinnamon stick just to a boil in a small saucepan, then pour over dates and cool to room temperature. Steep dates, covered and chilled, overnight. (Dates can steep for up to 2 days.)

4. 4

   Serve chilled dates with a little espresso syrup and yogurt.
