This has become one of my favorite sweets ever since I first made it. It is extremely healthy, tasty, aromatic with rich texture and great caramel color, much better than what they sell in stores!

Steps

1

Place the tahini (sesame seeds paste) in a bowl and set it aside.
2

Place the honey in a non-stick pan and let it boil for about 5-10 minutes so that most of its water evaporates and so it can set.
3

You know that it is ready when you pour a drop of the boiling honey in a glass of cold water. If the drop stays firm and becomes a small ball, the honey is ready. Instead of a glass of water you can use a small empty place that you have left in the freezer for a while to freeze.
4

As soon as it boils you set it aside for 1 minute and then add the lemon zest and mix.
5

Empty all the honey with the lemon zest in the bowl with the tahini and mix well, either using two spoons or by hand with single-use gloves. If you have any extra ingredients, add those as well.
6

When you are done thoroughly mixing it so that the mixture is well combined, place it on greaseproof paper, preferably in a bowl so that it gets a nice shape and set it aside to cool without covering it. It will get firmer as it cools.
7

Ready! You can store it in your kitchen cupboard.
