Black Sesame Latte
Creamy, nutty, and soul-warming, this Black Sesame Latte is the cozy winter drink that dreams are made of, and it's been on repeat in our house for the last 3 years. Black sesame paste can be bought ready-made, or easily made at home by toasting and processing black sesame seeds.
Ingredients
Black Sesame Crema (Makes ~4 servings)
- 3 tbsp Black Sesame Paste (Unsweetened) (Store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 tbsp Honey (Use more if you prefer a sweeter drink)
