Make:   -   (5 min)
  1. Grind together All Items in a spice grinder.
  2. In a sealed Spice Jar away from heat and direct sunlight it will be usable for at least 4 months.
NOTES:

  1. Peppercorns

      The pattern recipe called for "Long Pepper or Black Pepper". I couldn't find my Long Pepper so I used Black Peppercorns.

  2. Spice Grinder

      A little whirling blade coffee grinder is good for this job - mine is a Krups. Of course you can also do it the traditional way, pounding it in a big stone mortar, sifting, and pounding again.
  3. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
