A Simple Recipe To Prepare South Korea Black Sesame Latte: Health Benefits
Black sesame, a lesser-known ingredient, is used to create a new beverage that has gradually gained popularity. Due to its warming properties and comparatively high calcium content, this ingredient remains highly valued in India, often associated with festivals and rituals.
Many chefs and influencers are sharing their recipes or discussing their advantages. The beverage is essentially a nutty, creamy coffee or shake produced by mixing milk or black coffee with ground sesame seeds.

What Is Black Sesame Latte?
In essence, a sesame latte is made using sesame paste or powder instead of coffee syrup as the taste foundation. The Heukimja latte, also known as the black sesame latte, is often made in Korean cafés by layering milk, a shot of espresso, and sweet black sesame paste. It is then topped with whipped black sesame cream or a dusting of seeds. Like any other latte, the Heukimja can be served with espresso. This version is kid-friendly and caffeine-free because it just contains milk and sesame.
It can be iced, heated, or even frappé-style. Indian palates will recognise the slight smokiness of black sesame's bittersweet, tahini-meets-til-ke-laddoo taste.
The Craze in South Korea
The sesame latte is a fantastic fit for South Korea's café culture, which is based on seasonal, visually appealing drinks that are both novel and comfortable. Sweet potato lattes, maize lattes and other nostalgic, dessert-like beverages that bring back memories of childhood flavours in a contemporary cup belong to the same family as black sesame lattes. Since black sesame has long been used in Korean and other East Asian delicacies, the flavour is comforting and well-known rather than novel.
Black sesame has a reputation for promoting healthy hormones, skin, hair, and heart. It is popular on social media because of its aesthetic appeal. The gorgeous photos of the tiered glasses, sesame-speckled foam, and subtle grey swirls keep appearing all over social media. Korean-style lattes, such as black sesame, are among the global coffee trend surveys, hitting worldwide cafés, indicating that the beverage is not merely a fleeting Seoul-only sensation.
