    Black sesame paste soup is popular among East-Asian and Chinese. Also, black sesame dessert is typically served in hot. But, some like to serve them as cold, especially in summer. In Cantonese it calls tong sui, or sweet soup like sweet red bean soup.

    Normally, black sesame soup can be purchased in powder form that already have sugar in it at regular Asian store and you only need to add hot water. However, this recipe has step by step instructions to show you how to make black sesame dessert soup from scratch.

    • Wash and rinse the black sesame seeds. Then, drain them well.
    • Put sesame seeds into a blender add one cup of water. Blend it for a minuet. Then, add another cup of water and continue blend it until smooths around 2-3 minutes.

    • You can add more water if you don't like the viscosity. In this recipe, I added some coconut milk because the taste is even better with coconut flavor.

    FAQs:

    Do I need to wash black sesame seeds?

    Yes, the best to wash them in bowl with water and rinse them to remove some dust and impurity.

    Do you need to dry the sesame seeds after washing them?

    Some people like to stir fry them in a pan with lower heat to dry the seeds. I skip this process because I don't think it matter since we need to add water later on.
