• Gather all the ingredients.
  
• In a non-greased pan, toast the sesame seeds to bring out the aroma.
  
• Put the toasted sesame seeds in the food processor and start processing. You can also grind the black sesame seeds by mortar and pestle (but it will take some time).
  
• It will take some time for the sesame seeds to release the oil, so be patient.
  
• Scrape the sesame seeds from the sides as needed and run again. Depending on the machine, you may need to take a break to avoid breaking the motor.
  
• When the sesame seeds are finely ground and become moist from the natural sesame oil, add honey/sesame oil and process again to combine.
  
• The sesame seeds will start to look pastier. Continue processing.
  
• Once the sesame seeds are all ground, liquidy, and pasty, transfer to a sterilized mason jar.
