A cozy and unique latte featuring nutty black sesame paste blended with velvety oat milk foam and espresso or strong coffee, perfect for autumn mornings and Halloween.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon black sesame paste
  • 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk (barista-style recommended)
  • 1 shot (30 ml) espresso or 1/4 cup (60 ml) strong brewed coffee
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Toasted black sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • Cinnamon or cocoa powder for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 shot (30 ml) of espresso or 1/4 cup (60 ml) of strong coffee and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk with 1 tablespoon black sesame paste. Warm gently over low-medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly until smooth and hot but not boiling.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon maple syrup (or honey), 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Adjust sweetness to taste and keep warm without boiling.
  4. Transfer the warm black sesame oat milk to a milk frother or use a handheld whisk. Froth for 1 to 2 minutes until thick, velvety foam forms.
  5. Pour the espresso or coffee into a mug. Slowly add the frothed black sesame oat milk, holding back foam with a spoon, then spoon the foam on top for layering.
  6. Garnish with toasted black sesame seeds or a light dusting of cinnamon or cocoa powder if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use barista-style oat milk for best foam. Heat milk gently to avoid boiling which breaks down foaming proteins. Fresh oat milk froths better than milk that has been refrigerated for a long time. Adjust sweetness to taste. Black sesame paste quality affects flavor and texture significantly. Leftover black sesame milk can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated gently before frothing again.
