1. Blend the tahini and lemon juice for 1 minute until pale and thick.
2. Add the garlic, salt and cumin and blend again. Add the chickpeas and blend for 2 minutes.
3. With the machine running, drizzle in the ice-cold water until the hummus is light and smooth.
4. Spoon into a bowl, make a swirl with the back of a spoon and pour the olive oil into it.
