Four Phases Black Sesame Honey Butter is a black sesame paste made with two ingredients — organic unhulled black sesame seeds and raw honey. Here are four simple ways to cook with it, no fancy equipment required.

01

Black Sesame Honey Toast

The simplest way to use black sesame paste: swirled hot onto toast so the honey goes glossy and the seeds toast up even more.

Ingredients

  • 1 thick slice of sourdough or an English muffin
  • 1 tablespoon Four Phases Black Sesame Honey Butter
  • Pinch of flaky salt (optional)

Method

  1. Toast the bread until deeply golden.
  2. Spread the black sesame honey butter edge to edge while the toast is hot.
  3. Finish with a pinch of flaky salt and eat immediately.
02

Black Sesame Overnight Oats

A spoonful of black sesame paste folded into oats turns breakfast into something nutty, sweet, and filling — phase one of the day, handled.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of your choice
  • 1 tablespoon Four Phases Black Sesame Honey Butter
  • Sliced banana or berries to top

Method

  1. Stir the oats, milk, and black sesame honey butter together in a jar.
  2. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Top with sliced banana or berries and eat cold, or warm it gently.
03

Black Sesame Honey Latte

Black sesame paste whisked into warm milk makes a naturally caffeine-free latte — earthy, sweet, and dramatically dark.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of your choice
  • 1 tablespoon Four Phases Black Sesame Honey Butter
  • Ice (for the iced version)

Method

  1. Warm the milk until steaming, not boiling.
  2. Whisk in the black sesame honey butter until completely smooth — a frother works best.
  3. Pour into a mug, or over ice for an iced black sesame latte.
04

Black Sesame Fruit & Cheese Board

Serve black sesame honey butter like a condiment: next to sharp cheese and crisp fruit. Sweet, nutty, and a little dramatic.

Ingredients

  • Four Phases Black Sesame Honey Butter
  • A sharp cheese — aged cheddar or parmesan
  • Sliced apples or pears
  • Crackers or crusty bread

Method

  1. Spoon the black sesame honey butter into a small bowl.
  2. Arrange the cheese, fruit, and crackers around it.
  3. Let guests spread, dip, and drizzle as they like.
