In Greece, this is called ” tahinomelo”

Turns out, It’s not even an original idea of me to combine tahini with honey, because greek people have something similar for breakfast. They call it “tahinomelo” which literally means : honey tahini. And that’s exactly what it is. The combination of those two ingredients is simple, yet tastes divine. But I like to add a touch of cinnamon to it, which I think, makes it even better.
