"When Japanese sesame oil brand Kadoya Seiyu demonstrated that combining sesame oil and coffee is an option, foodies took notice. The unexpected addition can lend a creamy, smooth texture to a regularly prepared cup of Joe, and the smell of this combination will greet you before the first sip reaches your lips. As added incentive to experiment with this unique duo, sesame oil boasts a line-up of promising health benefits."
"Just a few drops of sesame oil plopped into your mug adds nutty, umami depth to your drink. And, just like a spoonful of ghee, the presence of the oil in your coffee contributes to a velvety drink that may instantly convert you. A milk coffee becomes more decadent, and a basic cup of black coffee turns into a surprising treat."
Toasted or regular sesame oil can be added to brewed coffee in small amounts to create a creamy, smooth mouthfeel and pronounced nutty, umami aroma. A few drops, especially of cold-pressed sesame oil, can deepen flavor and make milk-based or black coffee more decadent. Using a hand blender can emulsify the oil for an ultra-smooth texture, though blending is optional. A pinch of Himalayan salt can amplify flavor. Sesame oil contains antioxidants and healthy fats that are associated with reduced inflammation and metabolic benefits. Sesame oil can also finish teas, smoothies, and cocktails.
