Kinako Cream Top

Buttery, toasty, and just a little salty. This kinako cream top is the upgrade your drinks have been missing! Spoon it over iced espresso drinks, milk tea, or anything could use a little something extra.

Ingredients

  • 120 g heavy cream
  • 20 g whole milk or 2% reduced fat milk
  • 10 g kinako powder
  • 10 g agave syrup or maple syrup
  • pinch kosher salt or flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Combine heavy cream, milk, kinako, agave syrup and salt in a jar (or similar vessel). Use a whisk or electric milk frother to agitate until mixture slightly thickens.
  • You want the mixture to be a pourable consistency with a little body. It should ribbon off a spoon. Don't overmix- otherwise you'll end up with whipped cream.
  • Pour or spoon directly over your assembled drink of choice. Finish with a dusting of kinako on top.

Notes

  • This makes enough for about 4 average sized beverages. 
  • Adjust sweetness to your liking.
  • Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to three days. Stir gently before use.
