Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Yellow mustard seeds
- 2 tablespoons Brown mustard seeds
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1/4 cup White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Instructions
Place the yellow mustard seeds and brown mustard seeds into a spice grinder or blender, and grind them to your desired texture. For smooth mustard, grind them finely; for coarse mustard, leave them slightly chunky.
In a small bowl, combine the ground mustard seeds with water. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Add the white vinegar, ground turmeric, honey, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper to the mustard mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
Transfer the mixture to a clean, airtight jar or container. Let it rest at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours to allow the flavors to mellow and develop fully.
After the resting period, taste the mustard and adjust seasonings if necessary. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a small amount of water or vinegar to adjust the texture.
Store your prepared mustard in the refrigerator. It will continue to develop flavor over time and can be kept for up to 1 month.
