Maybe obvious but I just thought to myself “I make this meal all the time and every time I mix together the required amount of spices. Why don’t I just make a shit load and then use as much as I need each time?”
Gonna do this from now on its actually gonna save me so much psychic damage from fucking around with powder.
One thing to be aware of is that spices’ aroma molecules will degrade faster when powdered than when whole. No idea how significant this is, but might be good to know if you’re planning on making several years worth of spice mix
Most powdered spices lose their zing after 3-6 months. Delicate spices like mace go much faster.
