Time 5m

Yield Makes 1 small jar

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tbsp ground cinnamon or 2 cinnamon sticks
2 tbsp black peppercorn
1 tbsp dried thyme
2 tsp allspice berries
1 ½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ nutmeg , grated

Steps:

  • Toast the whole spices in a small pan until they are aromatic and have turned a shade or two darker. Don't be tempted to skip this stage, as it really enhances the flavours.
  • Tip into a spice grinder (or use a pestle and mortar), then add the ready-ground spices and dried herbs if required, and crush to a fine powder. Store in a sealed jar for up to six months.
