Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons ground allspice
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground mace
- ⅔ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅔ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅔ teaspoon ground coriander
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together with a wire whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Strain through a mesh sieve to remove any lumps or chunks of spices.
- Keep the mixture in an airtight container or a mini glass jar in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
Notes
- Use the freshest spices you can find. Preferably, grind your own with a spice grinder. Whole nutmeg can be grated on a microplane.
- Sieve the mixture to remove any large pieces.
- Don't keep the blend for more than 6 months; after that, its flavor will start to dull.
