Black Sesame Latte (Black Sesame Milk)
This two-ingredient Asian cafe-style black sesame latte features frothy milk and a nutty, toasty black sesame flavor. Using a plant-based milk, it's naturally vegan!
Servings: 1 person
Equipment
- frother optional
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat milk can sub other milks
- 1 tsp black sesame paste
Instructions
- Put oat milk and black sesame paste in a small saucepan and heat on stovetop, stirring to mix the black sesame. When milk is steaming, but not yet boiling, turn off the heat.
- Pour warmed black sesame milk into a 12oz mug. Use a hand frother to foam your black sesame milk to the top rim of the mug. If you are not frothing your milk, you can increase your liquid to 1 1/2 cups and black sesame to 1 1/2 teaspoons in order to fill a 12 oz mug.
Notes
- I find that oat milk is naturally sweet enough that I do not need any additional sweeteners. However, if you substitute other milks, you may want to add a little sugar or honey to taste.
- If you'd like to drink this iced, simply blend your milk and black sesame paste until well mixed and pour into a glass with ice.
- This black sesame "latte" is made Asian-style, with just milk, but you can certainly add a shot of expresso if you'd like.
