Tahini adds a sesame flavour; leave it out if you prefer. Almond milk contains nuts and tahini contains sesame, so check the ingredients against your dietary needs. You can also make the drink with your usual milk.
Keep opened milk refrigerated and follow its storage instructions. Better Health Channel — Food safety and storage.
