4: Beat the chestnut red date paste. Pour the prepared dates and chestnuts into the wall breaker, pour the pure milk and sugar into the ingredients, activate the "fruit and vegetable milkshake key", and after a minute the sweet and delicate chestnut date puree is beaten. If there is no wall breaker at home, you can also use the fruit and vegetable function of the soybean milk machine. However, no matter what machine is used, you must consider the power of the machine. If the power is small, the ingredients can be divided into parts. If you like to eat something with a grainy feeling, at this time, you can leave a small amount of chestnuts without being beaten into a puree.
