    Mix the tahini and lemon juice. The mixture will quickly coagulate and turn brown depending on how much lemon juice you have.

    Add a tablespoon of the drained chickpea juice to loosen the mixture if it is too stiff.

    The mixture should have the same thickness as hummus and should turn white.
