Equipment

  • A high-speed blender or a cocktail shaker will help emulsify the tahini into the drink.
  • A glass for serving
  • A spoon for stirring
  • A strainer if you like it ultra-smooth.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 double shot of espresso or ½ cup cold brew concentrate
  • 1 tablespoon tahini unsweetened, stirred well
  • ¾ cup cold oat milk or almond milk
  • 1 –2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Brew the espresso or prepare your cold brew concentrate.
  • In a blender or shaker, combine espresso, tahini, oat milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and sea salt.
  • Blend or shake until completely smooth and creamy.
  • Fill a glass with ice and pour the mixture over it.
  • Stir gently and taste; adjust sweetness or milk if needed.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy chilled.

Notes

Use fresh, runny tahini for best emulsification.
If your tahini is too thick or separated, whisk it first.
To avoid bitterness, use smooth low-acid coffee or cold brew.
Top with cinnamon, cocoa powder, or espresso ice cubes for fun variations.
