🧂 Ingredients

½ cup black sesame seeds,

or ¼ cup black sesame powder
1 ½ cup water
2 tbsp rice flour
2 tbsp glutinous rice flour
2 tbsp honey or sugar

Instructions

1 In a small pan, fry the black sesame seeds over low heat, stirring occasionally,
until they become fragrant (~3 to 5 minutes). Once toasted, remove the pan from
the heat and let it cool down.
2 Put the toasted black sesame seeds into a spice grinder or blender. Pulse
intermittently until the desired powder consistency is achieved. Make sure not
to over grind or else you’ll create a paste.
3 Begin making the soup by adding the water, rice flour, glutinous rice flour and
black sesame powder to a pan.
4 Bring everything to a simmer over low heat, stirring continuously. The mixture
should begin to thicken.
5 Continue to simmer and stir for about 10 minutes. After, add in your sugar and
mix until it’s fully dissolved. Taste and adjust until you get your desired
sweetness level.
6 If the soup is too thick, add more water and stir until it is mixed in well.
7 Remove from heat and use a ladle to serve in small bowls. Let it cool down for 5
minutes before serving. Enjoy!
