🥚 Salted Egg Yolks
The traditional method for making salted egg yolks dates back to the 6th century in China! Whole eggs, raw with the shell still intact, are left to soak in a 15 to 20 percent concentrated salt brine for several weeks. In places like the Philippines and Malaysia, you’ll find these eggs wrapped in a salted paste of clay or ash. Both methods operate under the same principle: With time, the salt penetrates through the porous shell, dissolving the strands of protein called albumin in the whites and solidifying the yolk, drawing out the Parmesan-like umami within!
Here's a great recipe to try making your own at home!
❓ New to using Black Sesame Seeds?
Sesame seeds are small, flat, oily seeds that grow in the fruit pods of the Sesamum indicum plant, and have been cultivated for thousands of years! Not only are they great to turn into milk, but they are great in any dish. If you haven't tried black sesame milk or flavored pastries yet, I highly recommend you do so! Black sesame milk is very easy to make, and the taste is incredible - nutty, rich, and unique!

🍴Ingredients
Use this section as an opportunity to describe lesser-known ingredients and talk about what each one adds to the recipe.
- Black Sesame Seeds: Rich seeds that are full of flavor and ever so nutritious - they also add to the stunning charcoal color of the sesame milk.
- Oat Milk: I chose to use my favorite non-dairy alternative, yet you could certainly use whole milk or your non-dairy preference of choice!
- Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract is going to be our main flavor addition rather than almond extract. Whether you choose to use vanilla extract or substitute another extract, the replacement is best when it's the highest quality.
- Salted Egg Yolk Syrup: Acting as a flavorful sweetener, this Salted Egg Yolk syrup is all you need to brighten the flavors in this drink!
- Heavy Whipping Cream: If you prefer a non-dairy substitute, I've found that the Silk brand has a fantastic option that I've linked!
- Matcha Powder: Matcha powder is made from ground green tea leaves. Unlike when you drink steeped green tea, you consume the entire tea leaf in a matcha latte. As a result, matcha has approximately 10x more nutrients than regular green tea!
📖 Step-by-Step Instructions
There are only a few simple steps before you have an ice-cold glass of Black Sesame milk in your hands...

👩🏻🍳 Expert Tips
- Maximizing Flavor with Black Sesame - Grinding whole black sesame seeds in a food processor releases the oils and enhances their nutty flavor. Using whole seeds also adds a visually appealing contrast when sprinkled on top.
- Matcha Whipped Cream Perfection - For the ideal matcha whipped cream texture, beat room temperature heavy cream, matcha powder, and powdered sugar until firm peaks form. A hint of sesame oil can provide a delightful aromatic depth to the green tea flavor.
- Presentation Matters - Showcase the distinct layers of Black Sesame Milk and Matcha Whipped Cream in a clear glass for an elevated aesthetic. Pairing with a slice of matcha chiffon cake turns the drink into a full dessert experience.

Absolutely! The delicate texture and flavors of chiffon cake, especially a matcha chiffon cake, or an angel food cake, would complement the Black Sesame Milk with Matcha Whipped Cream beautifully.
