✿ You can use any of your favorite sweetener. I use rock sugar for mine.
✿ The cooking time depends of the thickness of the soup you like. The longer you cook it the thicker the soup will be.
✿ Adjust the water depending on personal preferences. For a stronger sesame flavor add less water.
✿ Instead of using sesame seeds, you can use sesame powder as well.
