Tahini Hot Chocolate
A sumptuous blend of rich cocoa and creamy tahini in this hot chocolate offers an exotic twist and comforting warmth with Middle Eastern charm.
Ingredients
Main
- 2 cups milk dairy or plant-based
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 2 tablespoons tahini well-stirred
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Garnish
- Whipped cream or a cinnamon stick optional
Instructions
- Gently heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam.
- Whisk in the cocoa powder and sugar until smooth and fully integrated.
- Stir in the tahini, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, whisking continuously until heated through.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary, then pour into two mugs.
- Top each mug with whipped cream or add a cinnamon stick as a stirrer, if desired.
Notes
Ensure tahini is well-stirred before use. Use almond or oat milk for the best dairy-free flavor partnership.
