Recipe Questions

→ What type of coffee works best for this iced coffee?

Cold brew or strong, chilled coffee are ideal for this drink as they offer smooth flavor without bitterness.

Almond butter or cashew butter might work, but tahini offers a unique, rich taste not easily replicated.

Sprinkle with cinnamon, cardamom, cocoa powder, or drizzle extra tahini on top for flair and depth of flavor.
