Recipe Questions
- → Can I use regular milk instead of plant-based milk?
Yes, you can use cow's milk, but blend thoroughly to avoid separation since tahini may thicken slightly.
- → What plant-based milk works best?
Almond, oat, or soy milk each provide great results. Oat milk adds extra creaminess and pairs well with tahini.
- → How do I adjust sweetness?
Start with maple syrup and add to taste. Agave nectar and honey are good alternatives, depending on preference.
- → Can I make this drink in advance?
Prepare the tahini blend ahead, but combine with coffee, ice, and milk just before serving for best texture.
- → Are there garnish ideas to elevate the drink?
Top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, cinnamon, cardamom, or a drizzle of tahini for an appealing finish.
- → Is this suitable for nut allergies?
Choose nut-free plant milk options. Always check ingredient labels as tahini contains sesame, not nuts.
