Sesame Milk

Sesame Milk - made with tahini. Just 3 ingredients and only takes a minute to make. All you need is a blender. It's the perfect milk for all tahini-lovers!

Sesame Milk

For the last couple of months, I have been obsessed with tahini. I've gone through so many jars! It's crazy. I've been drizzling tahini on top of my morning overnight oats, nice cream, even added it into milkshakes. 

It just adds such a lovely slightly bitter-sweet taste. It's really hard to get off this stuff once you're hooked. I'm telling you.

So obviously, a Sesame Milk recipe made with tahini had to happen.

What I love about this sesame milk is, that

  • it's super inexpensive,
  • super quick (1 minute!), 
  • no straining! (because we're using only water, tahini, and maple syrup).

How to make Sesame Milk

The Ingredients

You will need: 

  • water
  • tahini (sesame paste)
  • maple syrup (or your favorite sweetener)

The Basic Steps

Step 2: Blend until smooth. All done! No need to strain.

You can drink it straight as it is, or use it for granola, coffee, chai, dip some cookies into it,... whatever you feel like.

If you want to keep the milk for a couple of days, store it in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    What is the size of the mesh in your straining bags? I have seen bags with 80 micron mesh and 200 micron. I wonder which is better/recommended.

    Hi Bianca, I have a question about the sesame milk recipe nutrition info. Is this for 1 cup of the sesame milk?
    Great recipe, and so easy to make!

    Is this meant to say teaspoons of tahini rather than tablespoons? I tried with teaspoons and it was very watery. Put in quite a bit more and improved it so wondered if the metrics are off here

    This recipe is too watery for my taste, so I used 2 tablespoons of tahini and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to 450 mL of water, it makes about half a litre of sesame milk. I put it in a glass bottle and shake it well before use.
    A positive thing is that it’s quick and easy to make.
