This creamy, nutty latte combines rich tahini with sweet date caramel and a pinch of flaky sea salt for a luxurious 5-minute treat. It’s a quick, easy, and satisfying coffee ritual that feels like a café experience at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons well-stirred tahini
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or date syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt, plus more for garnish
  • 1 to 2 shots of espresso, or 1/2 cup strongly brewed coffee
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice (whole milk or oat milk recommended)
  • Ice cubes (if making iced version)

Instructions

  1. Make the tahini caramel base: In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine the well-stirred tahini, maple syrup (or date syrup), vanilla extract, and flaky sea salt. Whisk vigorously until smooth, glossy, and completely combined.
  2. Add a splash of hot milk to the base: Pour about 2 tablespoons of hot milk (or hot water) into the tahini caramel mixture. Whisk again until completely smooth and emulsified.
  3. Brew your coffee: While whisking the base, brew your espresso or strong coffee. Keep it hot and fresh.
  4. Combine the coffee and base: Pour the hot coffee directly into the bowl with the emulsified tahini caramel. Stir or whisk gently until well combined.
  5. Froth your milk: Heat your milk until steaming but not boiling. Froth using a milk frother, French press, or jar until thick and velvety.
  6. Assemble the latte: Pour the coffee-tahini mixture into your favorite mug. Slowly pour the frothed milk over the back of a spoon to layer.
  7. Garnish and serve: Finish with a final pinch of flaky sea salt on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Stir tahini well before measuring to avoid separation. The emulsification step (adding hot milk to the base) is crucial for a smooth texture. For the best foam, use cold milk if using a handheld frother. The tahini caramel base can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
