This tahini latte combines warm milk with sesame tahini and a little honey or maple syrup. Optional cinnamon and vanilla add extra flavor. The base recipe contains no coffee; espresso is a separate variation.
Stir the tahini before measuring, especially if the oil has separated in the jar. Whisk it thoroughly into the warm milk for an evenly mixed drink, and taste before adding more sweetener. Dairy and plant-based milks give different flavors and textures, so use the one you prefer. Serve warm in a mug.

Notes
• Stir the tahini thoroughly before measuring if its oil has separated.
• If the tahini is thick, first whisk it with a small amount of the warm milk, then gradually incorporate the remaining milk.
• Heat gently and avoid boiling. Whisk again before serving if the mixture begins to separate.
• Unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk gives you more control over sweetness.
• For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and maple syrup rather than honey.
• Espresso is an optional addition for a coffee version; the base recipe contains no coffee.
