Spice Blend Mixer: Proportions You Can Scale to Any Jar
Buying a blend is easy; understanding it is better. Proportions let you refill the same jar, adjust the heat, and skip the additives.
What is the Spice Blend Mixer?
Spice blends are proportions, not fixed spoon counts, and this mixer scales a chosen blend to your batch weight. The blends are original house-style mixes built from common spices, meant as a starting point you can adjust to taste. Toast whole spices lightly before grinding for the best aroma.

Frequently asked questions
Should I use whole or ground spices?
Whole spices toasted and ground fresh give the liveliest flavour, but ground spices are fine for everyday cooking.
How long do blends keep?
A few months in a sealed jar away from heat and light, after which the aroma fades even if the colour stays.
