Soak the dried chickpeas in plenty of water overnight (at least 12 hours) with half a teaspoon of baking soda.

Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then place them in a pot with the remaining baking soda and cover with water by 2 inches.
- 3
Bring to a boil, then simmer for 45-60 minutes until the chickpeas are very soft and the skins are falling off.

Drain the chickpeas and rinse with cold water; for the smoothest texture, gently rub them to remove the loose skins.

In a food processor, blend the tahini and lemon juice for 1 minute until creamy and whipped.

Add the garlic, salt, and cumin to the processor and blend again until fully incorporated.

While the processor is running, drizzle in the ice water one tablespoon at a time until the hummus reaches a light, fluffy consistency.
