Homemade Allspice Powder
This easy homemade allspice powder recipe combines cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to create a spice blend that mimics the flavor of allspice. Customize the amounts of each spice to suit your tastes.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Measure out the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves into a small bowl. Use equal amounts of each, about 1 tablespoon each.
- If you have whole nutmeg and cloves, grind them first before using. For nutmeg, grate on a microplane or spice grinder. For cloves, use a mortar and pestle or small food processor to crush into a powder.
- Thoroughly mix the spices together using a fork or whisk. Make sure the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves are well incorporated.
- Transfer the homemade allspice powder to an airtight container like a glass jar or spice jar. Label and store in a cool, dark cabinet or pantry.
- Be sure to stir or shake the container before each use to maintain an even distribution of the spices. Enjoy!
Notes
- Customize the amounts of each spice based on your tastes and preferences.
- Make larger batches by scaling up the ingredient amounts equally.
- Grinding whole spices just before use provides the best flavor.
- Stored properly in an airtight container, the homemade powder will retain its flavor for about 6 months.
