Homemade spice mixes
It’s not difficult at all to make your own spice mix, and the result is always delicious! We share tasty but above all easy recipes for making your own spice mixes. Of course, it’s very convenient to just go to the store and buy ready-made spice blends. However, these are often very salty and/or quite expensive. In most cases, without even realizing it, you already have the ingredients at home to make a fresh spice mix yourself.
By using dried herbs, you can store your mixes for a very long time. There are also spice mixes made with fresh ingredients, which naturally don’t keep as long and usually need to be stored in the fridge. By making your own spice mix, you can completely control how salty, spicy, or flavorful it is.
Besides being fun to make your own spice mixes, they also make a wonderful gift for friends or family. Surprise someone with a homemade spice blend – a perfect present for the real foodies among us!
