Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Yellow mustard seeds
- 2 tablespoons Brown mustard seeds
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Filtered water
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the yellow and brown mustard seeds with the apple cider vinegar and filtered water. Stir well, ensuring the seeds are well-soaked.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours or overnight to allow the seeds to soften and absorb the liquids.
Once the seeds are softened, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor.
Add turmeric powder, honey, ground paprika, ground black pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches your desired mustard consistency. For a smooth mustard, blend for 2-3 minutes. For a coarse, grainy mustard, pulse only a few times.
Taste the mustard and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add a little water if the consistency is too thick.
Transfer the finished mustard to an airtight jar or container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Allow the mustard to sit for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator before using to let the flavors meld together beautifully.
