Gingerbread Spice Mix
A warm, fragrant blend of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and cardamom. Perfect for gingerbread cookies, cakes, pancakes, and cozy drinks, with a touch of spice that also works beautifully in savory marinades.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp ground ginger
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground allspice
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
Instructions
- Add all the spices to a small bowl and stir until evenly combined, breaking up any clumps with the back of a spoon. Transfer the blend to a clean, dry spice jar with a tight-fitting lid. Label the jar and store in a cool, dark place away from heat and moisture.
- Notes
- For the best flavor, start with fresh, fragrant ground spices. This blend has a noticeable ginger bite, so begin with a small amount when adding it to a recipe that doesn’t already call for gingerbread spice.
- Uses
- Use in gingerbread cookies, cakes, muffins, pancakes, waffles, and French toast. Stir a little into oatmeal, or use to flavor homemade gingerbread syrup, coffee creamer, and whipped cream. Mix with sugar for sprinkling over buttered toast or popcorn, or add to candied nuts and baked apples or pears.
