Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cumin ground
  • 2 teaspoon coriander ground
  • 2 teaspoon cardamom ground
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • 1 teaspoon pepper ground
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg ground
  • ½ teaspoon cloves ground

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients together and transfer to an airtight container.

Notes

  1. Recipe will yield 11.5 teaspoons.
  2. Your spice blend will last up to 4 years if properly stored. Now, the blend will never go "bad" or "foul" since there is no moisture present. It will simply lose potency and flavor. I find it makes my life easier to mark my blends with a date to keep better track of them. To see if your blend is still good, a classic sniff test will do the trick.
