Cooking Guide

→ Can I use espresso instead of cold brew?

Yes, strong chilled espresso works well and offers a robust coffee profile.

→ Is it necessary to use plant-based milk?

No, you can use dairy milk if preferred, but ensure thorough mixing as tahini can thicken slightly.

→ What sweeteners can I use?

Maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar all pair nicely with tahini and coffee flavors.

→ How do I prevent tahini from clumping?

Whisk tahini well with syrup and vanilla until smooth before adding to the coffee and milk.

→ Can I add extra flavors?

Definitely! Try adding cinnamon, cardamom, or a dusting of cocoa for deeper flavor notes.

Yes, use plant-based milk and maple or agave sweetener for a fully vegan beverage.
