Can other nut butters replace tahini?

Yes, almond or cashew butter may be substituted for a different flavor, though tahini provides a distinct sesame note.

Is this suitable for dairy-free diets?

Absolutely—any plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy works well and keeps the beverage dairy-free.

Increase or decrease maple syrup, honey, or substitute with agave nectar to suit your preferred sweetness level.

Strong cold brew coffee enhances the richness, but well-chilled regular coffee can also deliver robust flavor.

Try adding cinnamon, cardamom, or a dash of cocoa powder for aromatic and flavorful variations.

A sprinkle of cocoa powder, drizzle of tahini, or coffee beans atop the drink make for attractive presentation.
