Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons flaky sea salt or black lava salt

In a dry pan over medium heat, lightly toast the black sesame seeds for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Let them cool completely. - Grind the mix:
Using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, coarsely grind the sesame seeds with the sea salt. You want a textured mix—not a fine powder. - (Optional) Add charcoal:
For a more intense black color, stir in 1/4 tsp activated charcoal powder. - Store or use immediately:
Transfer to an airtight jar. Keeps well for up to 1 month in a cool, dry place.
