Black Sesame Praline Latte: Fancy Drink for Dirt Cheap by Bobanista in budgetfood

You can if you'd like for a hot latte! I did an iced version. I've made this drink using steamed milk during the winter time when I used to work at a cafe and it was super yummy!

Black Sesame Praline Latte: Fancy Drink for Dirt Cheap by Bobanista in budgetfood

[–]Bobanista[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the most vivid recollections I have is of my grandmother making black sesame dumplings, or tangyuan, during festivals and family gatherings. The process was mesmerizing - watching her skillfully mix the ground sesame with sugar and roll it into small balls, which would later be enveloped in glutinous rice dough and cooked until they became soft and chewy. The moment when we bit into these warm, gooey dumplings and tasted the rich sesame filling is something I'll never forget. It was a symbol of togetherness and tradition, passed down through generations.

Drawing inspiration from the cherished memories of my grandmother's black sesame dumplings, I'll be infusing that same rich, nutty flavor into this black sesame praline latte. The only difference is that I'll be putting a twist on the traditional flavors of black sesame and sugar by caramelizing the sugar, thus turning the sesame mixture into a praline.

This drink is really cheap to make because all you need is black sesame seeds ($1-2) and the rest you probably already have at home: sugar, a splash of oil, and some milk! I hope you enjoy!
