Full Video Recipe here including a guide to how to make black sesame powder at home

Ingredients (for 1 drink)

For the black sesame sauce

30g black sesame powder

30g hot water

5g/1tsp honey

*just this sauce and milk is 10/10 hot or cold, I think of it as a black sesame latte even though it’s coffee-less, please try it out as well!

For the black sesame dalgona

60g heavy cream/double cream

15g black sesame powder

5-10g / 1/2tbsp castor/white sugar

a few drops of vanilla extract

+ a milk of your choice (any milk substitute works really well, especially the nut based ones actually taste so good)

Instructions

1. For the black sesame sauce: combine sesame powder, hot water and honey in a bowl or in the bottom of your cup. Set aside.
2. For the black sesame dalgona: whip the cold heavy cream/double cream in a bowl until medium soft peaks, add the sesame powder, sugar and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly. You can taste and adjust the sweetness to your own preference.
3. To assemble: add the sesame sauce into your cup if you didn’t already mix it in the cup, add ice, milk, and top with the black sesame dalgona cream.
4. Enjoy! Please feel free to add more honey to sugar, everyone’s taste preferences are so different so although this sugar level is fine for me (I don’t really weigh anything normally I just add some and adjust) , it might not be for you.
