EQUIPMENT NEEDED

Coffee Maker

A coffee maker is essential for brewing a smooth cold brew coffee. It’s the foundation of this refreshing beverage.

Frother

Using a frother allows you to create a luscious, foamy topping for your drink. This adds a special touch to your cold brew experience.

Glass

A glass is necessary for serving your cold brew. Choose one that reflects your style and adds to your enjoyment of the drink.

INGREDIENTS

Cold Brew Coffee

3/4 cup cold brew coffee serves as the base of the drink, providing a smooth and rich coffee flavor without the acidity of regular brewed coffee.

Brown Sugar Syrup

1 Tbsp brown sugar syrup sweetens the drink perfectly. Unlike regular sugar, it gives a deeper flavor, enhancing the overall taste.

Tahini

1 tsp tahini adds a creamy texture to your cold brew. It’s a healthy fat that can promote heart health and adds extra protein to the drink.

Milk of Choice for Foam

1/4 cup milk of your choice (dairy or plant-based) is used to create the frothy foam that sits atop your drink. This can be adjusted based on your dietary preferences.

Sesame Oil or Toasted Sesame Seeds (optional)

1/4 tsp sesame oil or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds enhances the nutty flavors, adding a unique twist to your cold brew.

Ice

Ice is essential to keep your beverage cold and refreshing, especially on hot days.

HOW TO MAKE Brown Sugar Sesame Cold Brew

Step 1: Stir the Cold Brew with Brown Sugar and Tahini

Begin by taking your cold brew coffee and adding the brown sugar syrup along with the tahini. Stir well until the brown sugar is fully dissolved. The combination creates a rich, flavorful base for your drink.

Step 2: Pour Over Ice

Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the mixture of cold brew, brown sugar, and tahini over the ice. This not only keeps your drink cool but also allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Step 3: Froth the Milk with Sesame Oil

In a separate container, froth your milk of choice. If you’re using sesame oil, add it to the milk before frothing. The oil will infuse your foam with a lovely sesame flavor.

Step 4: Spoon the Foam on Top and Sprinkle Seeds

Carefully spoon the frothy milk over the cold brew mixture in your glass. For an added touch, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. This makes for a visually appealing drink that’s sure to impress.

TIPS AND TRICKS

  • Meal Prep: This cold brew coffee can be made in large batches. Prepare the base ahead of time and froth the milk just before serving. This makes it easy to grab a refreshing drink whenever you want.
  • Storage: Store any leftover cold brew coffee in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. However, it’s best to add the foam just before serving to maintain its texture.
