  • If jazzing up the recipe with the optional spices: Add the Ginger, Cloves, and Cardamom, one at a time so you can see how each alter the taste of your spice blend.
    PRO TIP: Keep notes as you go if you increase any of the spices to get what you like best. If mixing up a large quantity, run the spice blend through a wire sieve to make ensure there's no lumps of spice pockets in your blend.
