💭 Tips
- Start with less than the amount shown and taste as you go. You can always add more, but you cannot take it away.
- Grind whole spices when possible. They are fresher and have a stronger flavor.
- If you do not have time to grind your own spices, make sure to use the freshest spices possible.
- Store in an airtight mason jar in a cool dark place.
How To Grind Spices
- First you'll need to toast whole spices. Toast each one separately. They toast at different rates, so this will insure that they don't burn.
- Place one of the spices in a dry cast iron skillet (or frying pan if you don't have cast iron) on medium-low heat.
- Give the pan a shake. When you start to smell it, it is done.
- Let it cool.
- Grind each spice with a spice grinder, a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder.
📖 Variations / Additions
- Nutmeg
- Star anise
- Coriander
- Vanilla bean
- Fennel seeds
- Mace
