A cozy and mysterious latte combining nutty black sesame paste with smoky activated charcoal foam, perfect for autumn mornings and Halloween vibes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee (about 60 ml / 2 fl oz)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240 ml) – whole milk recommended, almond or oat milk works too
  • 1 tablespoon black sesame paste (smooth, unsweetened)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener (maple syrup or honey preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon food-grade activated charcoal powder
  • 1/2 cup cold milk or plant-based alternative (120 ml) for foam
  • Optional 1/2 teaspoon sweetener for foam (vanilla syrup or simple syrup)

Instructions

  1. Brew 2 shots of espresso or strong brewed coffee (about 60 ml or 2 fl oz). Keep warm.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon black sesame paste with 1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener and about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) warm milk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Heat 1 cup (240 ml) milk on stove or microwave until steaming but not boiling (about 65°C or 150°F). Stir into the black sesame mixture until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon activated charcoal powder with 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold milk and optional 1/2 teaspoon sweetener. Froth using a milk frother or handheld electric whisk until thick and foamy (1-2 minutes).
  5. Pour the black sesame latte base into a cup, then spoon or pour the charcoal foam over the top.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle toasted black sesame seeds or a light dusting of cocoa powder on the foam.

Notes

Use food-grade activated charcoal powder only. Warm milk helps dissolve sesame paste; cold milk froths better for foam. Adjust charcoal amount to avoid bitterness. Clean frother immediately after use to prevent stains. For vegan version, use oat or almond milk and maple syrup or agave nectar as sweetener.
