Notes
The amount of water used in this recipe depends on the thickness of the tahini. I have tried some store-bought tahini that is very thick and I have to use more water in it. Bottom line is that add as much water as you think necessary. I like a more pasty version, so, I use less water. If you prefer a more creamy version of tahini, add more water and oil.
