Ingredients
3 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 small pinch ground black pepper
Instructions
Combine the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and black pepper in a medium-sized glass mixing bowl.
Whisk the ingredients vigorously for at least one minute to break up any ginger clumps and achieve a uniform color.
Place a small, clean funnel into the neck of a sterilized, airtight glass jar.
Pour the blended spices slowly through the funnel to fill the container.
Notes
Store in a cool, dark, and dry pantry location to maintain potency. For best results, use within 6 months. Freshly grated nutmeg is highly recommended for superior aroma.
