Method
- Combine all the spices in a small bowl and whisk until evenly blended.
- Funnel the mix into a clean, dry jar with a tight lid (a small spice jar or 4 oz mason jar is ideal). Label with the date.
- Optional: rest 12–24 hours for the flavours to marry — the blend is ready immediately but resting deepens the aroma.

Notes
Uses (Quick Ideas)
A: Stored in an airtight jar in a cool, dark cupboard it keeps best for 3 months (usable up to 6 months). Q: Can I double the recipe and store it?
A: Yes — the blend stores well; just label with the date and use within 3 months for peak aroma. Q: Can I use fresh orange zest in the blend?
A: Fresh zest is best used immediately in baking (it won’t keep in a dry spice jar); use powdered orange peel for a shelf-stable citrus note. Storage Store in an airtight jar in a cool, dark cupboard for up to 6 months (best within 3 months for peak aroma).
Keep away from heat sources or direct sunlight.
