Ingredients

  • 2 ½ Tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground all spice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon ground anise seeds or star anise
  • ¼ teaspoon ground mace

Instructions

  1. Whisk all the ingredients together until well blended and store in an air tight container. Spice mix will keep up to one year. I make this mix early fall so it's ready for the holiday baking season.

Recipe Notes

If baking more than two recipes, make a double batch.
