👨‍🍳 Method

For the Drink

  1. 1
    Grind the sesame seeds in a powerful blender about 3 minutes, until smooth paste forms.
    Blender
    💡At first the sesame looks like dry crumbs: keep grinding, scraping down the sides, and after a few minutes it releases its oil and turns liquid.
    💡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.)
  2. 2
    Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  3. 3
    Put the milk, tahini, honey, vanilla extract and cinnamon in the blender.
    Blender
  4. 4
    Add the ice.
  5. 5
    Blend 1 minute, until smooth.
    Blender
  6. 6
    Taste and adjust the sweetness.
  7. 7
    Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
    Glass (for drinking/serving)
    💡A smoothie separates and browns after a short while: drink it right after blending.
