    Cup of Yum
  1. Add 2 tbsp white sesame seeds to a large dry pan.
  2. Toast the sesame seeds over a medium-high heat until fragrant and slightly golden. Shake the pan regularly and remove from the heat as soon as they're done to prevent burning.
  3. Grind the sesame seeds using a mortar and pestle until you have a fine powder.

  5. Mix until well combined and enjoy!

  3. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 week.
  • The 2 servings batch doesn't work in a food processor since the amount is too small. I recommend a food processor for large batches.
