In South Korea, people often enjoy beautiful specialty drinks at home and in cafes. If you also enjoy making specialty drinks at home, try making this Korean black sesame latte! In Korean, this drink is known as a ‘heukimja latte’ (흑임자라떼). This particular coffee drink combines the nutty flavor of sesame with deliciously bitter espresso.

Every few months, I publish a soju cocktail recipe. This time, I am publishing a recipe for the popular Yakult soju cocktail! In South Korea, people make this cocktail using a well-loved childhood sweet drink known as ‘Yakult.’ From there, they add soju and Sprite. In the end, the drink tastes citrusy, light, and refreshing. Honestly, it is a bit dangerous because you cannot taste the alcohol! 

It’s that time of the year–the holidays are over and people are starting to feel run down from being with family, eating and drinking way too much, the contagious bugs going around, and/or the cold weather. Whatever the case, if you are feeling under the weather, Korea has some delicious meals that help you get back on your feet.

The month of December is all about holiday cooking and baking with friends and family. Looking back, I have made some delicious treats on this blog. Examples included white chocolate pistachio brittle and chocolate bourbon sauce. Today, we will actually use that chocolate bourbon sauce previously posted to make this bourbon hot chocolate!

During the upcoming autumn and winter seasons, try making our sweet potato latte recipe to warm your belly–It is the perfect treat to get you into the cozy, fireside mood. You can easily make this comforting and subtle Korean cafe drink at home in just a few minutes of active cooking. Soon, you will be sipping on this velvety, fragrant drink!
