Ingredients
Directions
- Step 1: Put all ingredients into a clean coffee grinder and grind until you have a coarse-fine powder. While grinding, shake the coffee grinder periodically so all the seeds and bits get under the blades to ensure that all the seeds are grounded evenly.
- Step 2: When you are finished, unplug the grinder and turn it upside down so all the spice are collected in the lid of the grinder.
- Step 3: Store the spice in a tightly sealed jar in a cool place.
