Nutty Black Sesame Latte: A Delicious Homemade Recipe
How to Make a Healthy and Flavorful Black Sesame Latte Easily at Home
Black Sesame Latte is a popular trendy menu item at many cafes these days. The rich, nutty flavor of black sesame pairs wonderfully with coffee. Today, we’re making it from scratch using black sesame seeds I had previously purchased. This recipe offers a delightful experience with the deep, savory taste of freshly ground black sesame, balanced by the creamy sweetness of milk and a shot of espresso. It’s perfect for a special treat at your home cafe, whether for a busy morning or a relaxing afternoon.
Ingredients- 4 Tbsp roasted black sesame seeds
- 150ml milk
- 100ml heavy cream
- 1 shot espresso (approx. 30ml)
- 1 Tbsp sugar (or to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, place 4 tablespoons of roasted black sesame seeds into a blender or grinder. Grind them until they are as fine as possible. Achieving a very smooth powder is key to the latte’s creamy texture.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine 100ml of heavy cream and the finely ground black sesame powder. Mix them together so the rich aroma of black sesame is well incorporated into the cream.
Step 3
Next, add 1 tablespoon of sugar. Using a hand mixer or a whisk (even a small one from Daiso works well), whip the mixture until it forms soft, fluffy peaks, similar to whipped cream. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn buttery.
Step 4
Brew one shot of espresso. If you have a capsule coffee machine, use that. If not, you can dissolve a teaspoon of instant coffee in a small amount of hot water for a strong coffee base. Adjust the coffee strength to your preference.
Step 5
Pour about 150ml of cold milk into your serving glass. You can adjust the amount of milk based on the glass size and your preference.
Step 6
Gently spoon the prepared black sesame cream mixture over the milk. Aim for a smooth, cloud-like layer for an appealing presentation.
Step 7
Finally, carefully pour the brewed espresso shot over the black sesame cream. This layering creates a visually appealing latte with distinct coffee and nutty cream layers.
Step 8
Your delicious and nutty Black Sesame Latte is now complete! Enjoy the perfect harmony of savory black sesame, creamy sweetness, and aromatic coffee.
Step 9
As in the first step, combine 100ml of heavy cream and the finely ground black sesame powder in a bowl. Mix them together so the rich aroma of black sesame is well incorporated into the cream.
