A fall ritual in a cup — this caffeine-free latte pairs velvety decaf espresso with house-made black sesame vanilla syrup for a nutty, toasty sweetness that lingers beyond the last sip.
For the Simple Syrup:
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 Tablespoons black sesame powder
1 vanilla bean pod, split and scraped
1 cup of water
Combine all ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring often so sugar doesn’t scorch, then simmer for 5 minutes.
Cool. Store in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
For the latte:
2 shots of Talking Crow decaf Guatemala
1-2 oz of the Black sesame simple syrup (depending on how sweet you like it)
Steamed milk
To your favorite mug, add the decaf espresso shots, then the simple syrup. Lastly, add the steamed milk.
Sip and enjoy.
