Creamy Tahini Iced Coffee is the nutty, refreshing twist you didn’t know your mornings needed. This unique iced coffee blends smooth cold brew with rich tahini, creating a velvety drink that feels both indulgent and energizing. The sesame flavor is subtle but distinct, adding depth and balance that pairs perfectly with a touch of maple syrup or honey.
What makes this recipe so appealing is how simple it is to prepare. With just a blender and a few pantry staples, you’ll have a café-worthy iced latte in minutes. Transitioning from the bitter edge of coffee to the smooth nuttiness of tahini, every sip is layered with flavor and creamy texture.
Interestingly, sesame has been enjoyed in drinks for centuries, especially in Middle Eastern traditions where tahini is a staple. Bringing it into a modern iced coffee recipe gives you a fresh way to enjoy both. Perfect for summer afternoons or a mid-day pick-me-up, this drink is a true coffee lover’s delight.
Recipe Yield: 2 servings
INGREDIENTS
1 cup cold brew coffee
½ cup milk (dairy or oat milk works best)
2 tbsp tahini (well-stirred)
2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup ice cubes
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Blend the base:
In a blender, combine cold brew coffee, milk, tahini, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
2. Prepare the glasses:
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes, making sure they’re well-packed for an extra-chilled drink.
3. Pour and serve:
Slowly pour the blended tahini coffee mixture over the ice. Stir gently, taste, and adjust sweetness if desired. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the nutty, creamy coffee layers.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use well-stirred tahini: Make sure your tahini is smooth and mixed well before blending, as separated tahini can create a grainy texture.
- Chill your coffee first: Always use cold brew or chilled coffee so the drink stays icy and doesn’t water down too quickly.
- Balance sweetness and nuttiness: Taste before serving—some prefer stronger coffee flavor, while others may enjoy extra maple syrup for a sweeter profile.
