* Adding water may or may not be necessary depending on the consistency of your tahini. Some tahini will come out of the container smoother and runnier, while others are thicker. Keep hot water on the side and use it where you feel necessary in achieving the consistency that you like. Keep in mind if you are making this ahead of time it will also thicken slightly in the refrigerator.
