Notes
- Mix thoroughly: Whisk well so the cayenne, clove, and cinnamon distribute evenly and don’t create hot or overly spiced pockets.
- Break up clumps: If any spices are clumpy, press them through a fine-mesh sieve or crush with the back of a spoon before mixing.
- Best flavor window: The blend tastes strongest in the first 1–3 months, then gradually softens as the spices age.
- Label your jar: Write the name and date so you know when to refresh the batch.
- How to use it: Start with 1½–2 teaspoons per pound of protein or vegetables, then adjust after tasting.
