1 teaspoon granulated sugar

¼ cup heavy cream

Black Sesame Latte

2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 cup cold strong brewed coffee cold brew, coffee concentrate, or 2 shots of espresso

Instructions

Make the Black Sesame Cold Foam

In a small bowl or glass, combine the black sesame powder, sugar, salt if using, and heavy cream.
Using a handheld milk frother or the whisk attachment of an immersion blender, whip until the mixture becomes fluffy and lightly thickened but still pourable.

Make the Latte

Add the sugar to the coffee and stir or froth until completely dissolved. Whisk in the black sesame powder until smooth. Stir in the milk.

Assemble

Fill a 16 ounce or larger glass with ice. Pour the black sesame latte over the ice. Spoon or pour the black sesame cold foam on top. Enjoy by sipping through the foam, Einspänner-style, or stir together with a straw before drinking.

Notes

Keep an eye on the cream while whipping it for the cold foam, it can be overwhipped very quickly.

"Coffee concentrate" can vary significantly in strength. Use an appropriate amount based on one serving. If using espresso, 1 shot may taste mild compared to the amount of milk. Two shots will provide a stronger coffee flavor.

Black sesame powder can clump. Be sure to whisk thoroughly.

Be sure to let the coffee cool, or use refrigerated coffee, as cooling first prevents excessive dilution.

Adjust the sweetness level to your choice by increasing or decreasing the sugar in the cold foam or latte.
