Making the Espresso

We are using 1 1/2 cups of rich espresso in each cup. I personally use an Espresso Maker or moka maker to make my coffee. My 3-cup classic moka maker was a gift from my aunt and make rich espresso in minutes.

At the time, I could not realize how the espresso could make it to the top when the water goes into the bottom portion. Once you follow the manufactures instructions for using your espresso maker, you will be making your own homemade espresso in no time.

I love all things with sesame (or tahini) so this Tahini Coffee with Almond Milk hints all the notes for me. If you made this let me know by leaving a recipe rating or tagging me on Instagram @myplantbaseplate. Thank you for reading and have bless day.
