Rich black sesame brings out the best in Midori Spring HOJI. The roasted tea's nutty, caramel-like notes sit beautifully alongside sesame's deeper, savoury flavour, while maple syrup rounds out the edges. Finished with black sesame cold foam, this is a latte worth enjoying to the last sip.
What you'll need:
For the latte:
- Black sesame paste
- Maple syrup
- A pinch of sea salt
- Almond milk
- A concentrated HOJI shot, whisked with warm water
- Ice
For the cold foam:
- Heavy cream
- Black sesame paste
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla
- Black sesame powder, to garnish
How to make it:
- Stir black sesame paste with a little maple syrup and a pinch of sea salt in the bottom of a glass. Adjust the sweetness to your taste.
- Add ice and almond milk. Whisk HOJI powder with a small amount of warm water to make a concentrated shot, then pour it into the glass.
- Froth the heavy cream with black sesame paste, maple syrup, and vanilla until light and pourable.
- Spoon the foam over the latte and finish with a dusting of black sesame powder.
The creator shared the ingredients without fixed quantities, so start lightly with the sesame paste and maple syrup, taste, and adjust until you find your favourite balance.
