- 6 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the tahini and lemon juice. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the olive oil and minced garlic to the tahini mixture. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly to achieve a smooth and pourable consistency. You may use more or less water depending on your desired thickness.
Stir in the cumin, salt, and ground black pepper. Adjust the seasonings to taste, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Transfer the sauce to a serving container and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
