Ingredients
- 1 whole nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp whole cloves
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 tbsp heaped of allspice berries
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground mace
- 1 tbsp ground ginger
- 4-5 whole black peppercorns (optional)
Instructions
-
Using a coffee grinder, grind the nutmeg, cloves, coriander and allspice berries to a fine powder. Add the black peppercorns if using at this stage too.
-
Whisk in the ready-ground spices and sift through a tea strainer or some sieve to get rid of any large shards which escaped grinding.
-
Store in a small glass jar in a cool dark place.
