1
Toast the Spices
In a dry skillet over medium heat, add coriander seeds, black peppercorns, cinnamon stick, star anise, cloves, and cardamom pods. Toast them for about 3-5 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
2
Cool the Spices
Remove the skillet from heat and let the spices cool down for a few minutes.
3
Grind the Spices
Once cooled, transfer the spices to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Grind them into a fine powder.
4
Add Dried Ingredients
Mix in the dried orange peel and freshly grated nutmeg into the ground spice blend.
5
Store the Spice Blend
Store the spice blend in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
