Ingredients

Namelaka:
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon finely ground black sesame seeds
- 2 gelatin sheets
- 100 g white chocolate
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
Gin or Grapefruit Soda Sorbet:
- 3 cups gin or gray grapefruit soda
- 1 cup glucose syrup
- 1 gelatin sheet (1.7 g)

Instructions

1. Namelaka:

2. Sorbet Mixture:
