Black Sesame Orgeat Syrup

Ingredients: 2 cups whole black sesame, 6 cups water, 4 cups white cane sugar, 1 tsp Orange Flower Water (or Rose Water), ¼ oz Everclear.

Combine 2 cups of black sesame and two cups of water in a saucepan and cook at 140°F for half an hour.

Drain and blend with two cups of hot water. Pour into a sealed container with two more cups of hot water. Let sit for minimum 4 hours.

Strain using cheesecloth or a 250 micron Superbag. Measure the liquid — you should get about 3½–4 cups.

Add equal parts white cane sugar and black sesame milk into a saucepan. Stir at low heat until dissolved. Add orange flower water and Everclear.

Store in a clean bottle in the fridge. Will last approximately 3 weeks.
