Black Sesame Pear Moon Cup

Black sesame gives pale pear milk a dramatic gray color and a roasted, almost savory depth. The fruit softens that intensity without needing a large amount of syrup. Use a genuinely ripe pear and remove the peel if you want the smoothest texture. Sesame paste can settle, so give the cup a stir before the last few sips. This is an earthy, gently fruity combination for someone who likes nutty flavors more than obvious dessert sweetness.

Ingredients

• 8 oz Unsweetened oat milk
• 1/4 fruit Ripe pear, peeled and cored
• 1 tsp Unsweetened black sesame paste

Make it

1. Blend the pear, sesame paste and cold milk until very smooth.
2. Warm gently in a small saucepan for 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Pass through a fine sieve if desired and serve warm.

Benefits

Pear with a useful milk choice

Choose fortified oat milk and the pear in this cup comes with a little calcium too, contributing to normal muscle function as well as bones and teeth.

A warmer side of black sesame paste

The oat milk and pear carries a toasted, slightly bitter nuttiness from black sesame paste, giving you a fragrant warm drink to enjoy in place of an alcoholic nightcap.
