How to Tell It's Done
Tips
- In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
- Squeeze the cloth well to get out as much liquid as possible; the milk separates as it stands, so shake it before using.
More Ways
- Stretch cheesecloth over a deep bowl, pour in the mixture and squeeze; the milk keeps in the fridge for 4–5 days, shake before using.
