Instructions

Place sesame seeds in a bowl and fill it with water. Allow the seeds to soak for 1 hour. Alternatively, you can boil the seeds for 20 minutes.
Once seeds have soaked, pour them into a fine mesh strainer, then run water over them for 10 seconds. Then, pour them into your blender.
Add water, dates, syrup, and cinnamon to the blender, then blend for 1 full minute.
If you own a nut milk bag: place bag over a large bowl, then pour milk through the bag and squeeze it so that the milk goes into the bowl. Transfer milk to a glass jar (or jars) and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
If you do not own a nut milk bag: pour milk through a fine mesh strainer and into a large bowl. Repeat this process 1 more time, which will ensure the milk is creamy and smooth. Transfer milk to a glass jar (or jars) and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

Sweeteners: feel free to adjust to your liking. After you blend the milk, do a taste test to see if you think it needs more syrup/cinnamon and/or another 1-2 dates.

Storage: store milk in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
