Ingredients

  • 2½ tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds fennel powder, ground
  • 1 tablespoon cloves ground
  • 2 tablespoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1½ teaspoon ground anise seed anise powder
  • 2 tablespoon orange peel grated, dried

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl, a plate, or a spice jar. Use in your recipes or store in an airtight spice container in a cool and dry place (see notes below).

Notes

  •  
  • For a more intense aroma and flavor, use whole spices. Slightly roast them in a pan and then grind them using a coffee grinder.
  • As a variation, try adding a tablespoon of grated lemon peel (rind) or an equal amount of allspice.
  • Storage Instructions:- transfer your Spekulatius spice to an airtight spice jar or glass, and keep it in a cool and dry place, possibly away from too much light for 2-3 months (you can still use it after this time, but it tends to lose its potency and aroma with time).
