Calories: 871.79kcal
Ingredients
For the Paste
- ½ cup black sesame powder 45g
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 1 ½ Tablespoons unrefined sesame oil only 1T if using whole seeds
For the Drink:
- 1 Tablespoon sweet sesame paste
- 1 Cup milk of choice coconut milk or oat milk, Use ginger tea or rooibos for a more latte flavor, shot of espresso optional as tolerated
Instructions
- Put your black sesame powder, honey, and sesame oil into a blender and blend into a paste for about 30 seconds. Put most of your black sesame paste into an air-tight container, setting aside 1 Tablespoon for use now.
- Beat 1 Tablespoon of black sesame paste with a couple ounces of the milk or tea, and then blend in all the liquid with a milk frother, until well-combined.
- Add ice and a shot of tea or espresso, if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
USING SEEDS. Using black sesame seeds rather than black sesame powder means using many fewer seeds, which is why I recommend you measure the seeds by weight.
SUGAR CONTENT. Currently this recipe calls for 3 Tablespoons of honey, or 48g of sugar, making each Tablespoon contain 6g of sugar per latte (+ whatever is in the milk).
