If you’re using any dried whole spices, then grind them up with a mortar and pestle – grinding up dried whole spices makes the spice mix a bit more special and fresh, but be prepared for a bit of work, as grinding all the ingredients can be quite time consuming. I personally recommend buying pre-ground spices.
2. Mix all the spices together in a small mixing bowl
3. Place the mixed spices in an empty container – it can be any small jar or container you can find at home. A nice touch you can do is adding a label on the container so you and your family members know which spice mix it is.
