  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine honey, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches a simmer.
