Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp Yellow mustard seeds
  • 1/2 Cup Mustard powder
  • 1/2 cup Water or Beer
  • 3 tbsp Vinegar sherry or white wine
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Ground Turmeric Optional
  • 2 tbsp Honey Optional
  • 1/4 tsp Minced fresh herbs

Instructions

  • Grind some whole mustard seeds in a coffee or spice grinder.
  • Add some semi-ground seeds into the bowl and add salt. Mix the mustard powder and salt.
  • Add some water or beer and stir well. When everything is combined, let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
  • The longer you leave it to sit, the mustard becomes mellower. It will be ready to pour in the vinegar.
  • Include the mustard mix in a glass jar and keep it in the fridge. In the beginning, it will be runny and become as thick as you keep overnight.
  • Wait for 12 hours before using it. This recipe of mustard will stay longer until one year in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Varieties of mustard may change the liquid.
  • The texture of mustard depends on how you grind it. Do not use complete seeds with powder or skip using powder without seed.
  • Add herbs, honey, and different spices according to your taste.
  • Remember, you cannot eat mustard instantly. Wait for at least 1-day before using it.
  • Mustard needs to marinate and diffuse its bitterness.
