Tahini Hot Chocolate
Tahini Hot Chocolate is a thick, comforting, hot drink with a truly underrated flavour combination: tahini and chocolate. Tahini is a unique flavour that’s often used like peanut butter and has a bitter taste similar to chocolate so it works well in balance with the sweet ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk or non-dairy milk of choice
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 1/2 tsp maple syrup
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 tbsp tahini well stirred
Instructions
- Warm a cup of milk in a saucepan over medium low heat.
- Whisk in unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt.
- Once all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the milk is the perfect drinking temperature, add tahini and stir for another 30 seconds.
- Strain the drink as you pour it into your favourite mug.
- Optional: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and enjoy!
Notes
Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on the top of your drink is optional but delicious.
I recommend straining homemade chocolate before serving to make sure your drink is really smooth with no clumps of cocoa powder.
I recommend adding the tahini at the end just to ensure you don’t overheat it
