Tips & Variations

• Use freshly made cold brew coffee for the richest flavor, or chill strong brewed coffee overnight.
• Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup or honey according to your taste.
• Try different plant-based milks to vary creaminess and flavor, such as coconut milk for a tropical twist.
• If tahini is too thick, thin it slightly with a little warm water before whisking.

Storage

This drink is best enjoyed immediately for the freshest taste and texture. If needed, store leftover cold coffee and tahini mixture separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Recombine and stir well before serving, adding fresh ice and milk.

FAQs

Can I use regular milk instead of plant-based milk?

Yes, regular dairy milk works well if you prefer. It will create a slightly different flavor but still complement the tahini and coffee nicely.

Is tahini necessary for this recipe?

Tahini provides the nutty, creamy base that makes this drink unique. If you don’t have tahini, you can experiment with other nut butters, but the flavor will change.
