Date &
Tahini Matcha

Sweetened with date syrup instead of sugar and given body by a spoon of tahini. Tastes like halva. Drinks like breakfast.

DifficultyEasy
Makes1 serving

Ingredients

  • 1½ tsp (4g) The Usual Original
  • ¼ cup (60ml) warm water, never boiling
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp date syrup, plus extra for the glass
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk of choice
  • Ice

Method

  1. Loosen the tahini. Whisk the tahini and date syrup with 2 tbsp of the milk until smooth — do this first or it will seize into lumps later.
  2. Dissolve. Whisk the matcha with the warm water until smooth.
  3. Line the glass. Drizzle a little extra date syrup around the inside of the glass, then fill with ice.
  4. Build. Pour in the tahini milk, top with the remaining milk, then layer the matcha over it.
  5. Stir. This one wants stirring — the tahini needs to move through the whole glass.
