Step 1

Place the black sesame seeds into a clean spice grinder. Pulse intermittently until a powder consistency is attained. Be sure not to over-grind or it will turn into a paste (like tahini).

Step 2

In a saucepan, add the water, rice flour, glutinous rice flour and black sesame powder. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Stir continuously. The mixture will start to thicken.

Step 3

Continue to stir for about 10 minutes. Add in the honey or sugar. Stir until dissolved. Taste the black sesame soup and adjust for sweetness.

Step 4

If the black sesame soup is too thick for your liking, add in a little more water and stir until homogeneous.

Step 5

Remove from heat and ladle into small bowls. Serve warm.
