Ingredients

• Black sesame seeds - 60 grams
• Coconut milk - 400 ml
• Water - 200 ml

• Salt - a pinch

Steps

1. Rinse the black sesame seeds under cold water and drain.
2. In a dry skillet, toast the black sesame seeds over medium heat for about 5 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

4. Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a saucepan, discarding any solids.
5. Add the coconut milk, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to the saucepan with the strained sesame mixture.
