- Sift the sugar and milk, then add the mastic and place them in the blender.
- Blend briefly, then add the tahini in two stages.
- A slightly crumbly dough will form.
- Boil the pistachios in cold water, then rinse, peel, and lightly toast them without any additions.
- When the pistachios have cooled, pulse them in a grinder until partially crushed (about half crushed).
- When the pistachios are completely cool, add them to the tahini halva and stir with a spoon until the pistachios are mixed into the dough.
- Line a small mold with plastic wrap, add the halva and press it with your hands to compact it.
- Refrigerate the tahini halva mold to set and firm up until ready to eat.
