Espresso
- 3 shots Espresso (or more, to taste; 1 shot = 1 fluid ounce/30 mL)
Salted Tahini Caramel Sauce
- 3 tablespoons Coconut Sugar
- 1/4 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Tahini (also known as Sesame Paste)
- 1 pinch Flakey Sea Salt (or to taste)
Latte
- 3 1/3 cups Oat Milk
- 1 1/2 cups Ice Cubes (optional, for serving)
- Make the espresso: Brew 3 shots of espresso using your preferred method, such as a moka pot or espresso machine, and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the salted tahini caramel sauce: In a saucepan, combine the coconut sugar and water. Heat over medium-high heat without stirring until the mixture begins to boil and bubbles appear. Allow it to cook for an additional 20 to 30 seconds to form a caramel. Remove from heat and whisk in the tahini and a pinch of flakey sea salt until the sauce is smooth and thick.
- Assemble the latte: You can either mix the caramel sauce with the espresso and oat milk together, then pour over ice cubes in glasses, or for a decorative effect, add the caramel sauce to empty glasses and spread it along the sides with a narrow spatula or spoon. Then add ice cubes, pour in the oat milk, and top with the espresso.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately for a refreshing, creamy salted tahini caramel latte experience.
Notes
- Use coconut sugar for a subtle caramel flavor, but you can substitute with brown sugar if necessary.
- Adjust the flakey sea salt to taste, starting with a small pinch and adding more if desired.
- For a vegan latte, ensure your oat milk is fortified and natural espresso is used without any dairy additives.
- Allow the espresso to cool slightly to prevent curdling when mixed with oat milk.
- To enhance the presentation, spreading the caramel sauce inside the glass creates an appealing visual effect.
- The recipe can be customized with more or less tahini depending on your preference for nuttiness.
