Freshly grinding roasted black sesame in the morning adds a depth of flavor that is warm, nutty, and quietly irresistible.
Paired with Koffee with a K™, this latte feels grounding and deeply nourishing — a velvety ritual that supports steady energy while inviting you to slow down and savor the moment.
☕ Method
1. Grind the black sesame
Using a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder, grind the roasted sesame seeds into a fine powder.
Freshly ground seeds release a deeper roasted aroma and richer flavor.
2. Warm the black sesame oat milk
Add the following to a small saucepan:
-
oat milk
-
ground black sesame
-
maple syrup
-
sea salt
-
vanilla extract
Warm gently over low heat, whisking to incorporate.
The milk will deepen into a soft charcoal grey.
Tip: Warm, not boiling, preserves flavor and creates a smoother texture.
3. Brew the Mushroom Koffee
Add 1 tablespoon of Koffee with a K™ to a French press.
Pour in 8 oz hot (not boiling) water and steep for about 3 minutes.
Press and pour into your mug.
(You can also prepare by whisking with hot water or using a moka pot for deeper flavor.)
4. Optional: pull your espresso shot
If you’d like a café-style version, prepare a shot of espresso now.
5. Build your latte
Pour the hot Koffee into your mug.
Add espresso if using.
Froth the black sesame oat milk, then pour over the top.
Finish with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds if desired.
