For these spice mixes, some of the ingredients are still whole. I normally use a small spice blender or a coffee grinder to pulverize and mix the ingredients. Some people would swear to use a pestle and mortar, but usually there is no patience in my vicinity. Let’s eat.
I usually swear when I read a recipe using volume instead of weight, but for spice mixes I make an exception ;)
