1/8 teaspoon salt

2 cups whole milk

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1. Combine 1 cup of the heavy cream, the sugar, and salt in a large bowl and whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Grind the sesame seeds in a clean spice grinder for about 5 seconds until they turn into a coarse powder. Don?t grind for too long as the seeds will turn into a paste.
