Black Sesame Matcha Latte
Add a nutty flavor to your matcha latte by using two-ingredient black sesame milk. Using a plant-based milk, it's naturally vegan!
Equipment
- frother optional
- bamboo matcha whisk (chasen)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soy milk can sub other milks
- 1/2 tsp black sesame paste
- 1 tsp high quality drinking matcha 2g
- 1/4 cup hot water
- ice
Instructions
- Mix soy milk and black sesame paste. This can be done in a mug with a frother or simply by stirring vigorously. If black sesame paste is not dissolving easily, warm up your milk on stovetop or in the microwave and the paste should easily mix.
- Pour black sesame milk into a 12oz glass filled to the rim with ice while you prepare your matcha. (if you have warmed your milk, let it cool before pouring over ice).
- Sift teaspoon of matcha powder into a bowl and add the hot (but not boiling) water. Whisk with a bamboo whisk or mix with a frother until matcha is dispersed.
- Pour matcha into your prepared glass with black sesame milk. If wanting to create a layered effect, aim the stream of matcha to hit the ice cubes rather than directly into the milk. Serve immediately.

Notes
- I have become an Asian grandma who likes things bitter and unsweetened, so I do not add any sweetener. I find with a really high quality matcha, the natural sweetness from the milk is enough for me. However, if you have a sweet tooth, feel free to add a sweetener of choice to the milk when you mix it with the black sesame paste.
