DQ! wassup fam. Come to SF and I'll have some waiting for you . In the meantime...
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup almonds
1 1/2 cups rice
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup fresh grated coconut
small piece of cinnamon
1 clove

~toast all the ingredients and grind in a blender with just a little water and water from inside the coconut to form a smooth paste. Thin paste to desired consistency with water and/ or milk. Mix in a syrup made from boiling piloncillo in water to sweeten, or use sweetener of your choice. Serve over ice.
