Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Yellow mustard seeds
- 2 tablespoons Brown mustard seeds
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the yellow mustard seeds and brown mustard seeds with the apple cider vinegar and water.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours or overnight. This allows the seeds to soften and absorb the liquid.
After soaking, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until you reach your desired consistency—blend less for a coarse mustard or longer for a smoother texture.
Add honey (if using), salt, turmeric, and paprika to the blender. Blend briefly to incorporate the spices.
Taste the mustard and adjust seasoning as needed. If you prefer a milder mustard, you may add a splash more vinegar or water to balance the flavor.
Transfer the mustard to a clean, airtight glass jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop before serving.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one month. Enjoy your homemade mustard on sandwiches, pretzels, or as a base for sauces and dips!
