Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon ground allspice
- 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground star anise
- ½ teaspoon ground mace
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Freshly ground spices will provide the best flavor, but pre-ground spices work well too. You can grind whole spices yourself using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Measure after grinding.
- In a small bowl, measure out each of the spices as listed above.
- Mix the spices together until they are thoroughly combined. Ensure that there are no clumps and the mixture is evenly distributed.
- Transfer your Lebkuchengewürz to an airtight container, such as a small jar or container.
- Store it in a cool, dark place. The spice mix will stay fresh for several months, but it's best used within six months for optimal flavor.

Notes
- Tips
- Use Fresh Spices: For the best flavor, use freshly ground spices. Pre-ground spices work in a pinch, but the difference is noticeable.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Ensure that all the spices are evenly combined to avoid clumps and uneven flavor distribution.
- Adjust to Taste: Feel free to tweak the amounts of each spice according to your personal preference.
- Grind Your Own: If you have a spice grinder, try grinding whole spices yourself. The flavor will be more intense and aromatic.
- Label and Date: Always label your spice blends with the date you made them, so you know how fresh they are.
