VEGAN BLACK SESAME LATTE - Combet Pamella

Black sesame is deliciously nutty and surprisingly delicate, and pairs especially well with date syrup, which I discovered is a perfect healthier substitute for kuromitsu (a Japanese sugar syrup that’s similar to molasses).

You can either buy black sesame seeds and crush them yourself using a pestle and mortar or a spice grinder, or buy them ready-crushed. You’ll be able to find ready-crushed black sesame seeds at Asian supermarkets.

And if you can’t get hold of black sesame seeds, you could substitute it with black sesame tahini.

Not only is it delicious, black sesame is packed full of health benefits too! It supposedly boasts anti-ageing powers, lowers cholesterol and blood pressure, is full of zinc and calcium for healthy bones and hair, and helps with indigestion!

This Vegan Black Sesame Latte is rich, creamy and wonderfully indulgent, but it's also naturally sweetened and really healthy!
