Speculaas spice mix recipe
You can make a homemade spice mix just the way you like it. Here is a tasty recipe for speculaas spices to make your own speculaas cookies.
Servings: 1 small jar
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp ground cloves
- 1 tbsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp ground mace
- 2 tsp ground cardamom
Instructions
- Put everything together in a bowl and stir well, that's all you need to do. You can also use a mortar for this.
- If you want to experiment: don't add everything at once, but do it in parts. In between, always smell well to find your ideal mix of speculaas spice mix.
Tips
Coriander seeds and allspice are ingredients that you also frequently see in speculaas spices. These are a little more difficult to obtain (I have not been able to find it), but if you have them, they are a very good addition. You can add them to taste, but start with 1-2 tsp of each.
How to store
Dried herbs and spices are best stored dark and dry, they will keep for at least a year this way. I usually use spice jars or weck jars for this that seal well airtight.
