Can you spice up a drink?
I love spices adding flavour to food. But how do you make spices liven up when they are added to drinks?
Spices are great because they bring out the best in any beverage. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to your favorite beverage, such as coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.
But, since most recipes call to ground spices, you'll need whole spices. This is sensible, but it can be expensive, time-consuming, and requires storage space.
That's where the magic happens. With some creativity, your favourite spices can be made into powdered forms that are easy to use. Mix them with your favorite drinks to make delicious spiced beverages.
There are two possible ways to create these powders. One way is to grind whole spices into fine powder. A mortar and pestle is another method to grind the spices to a finer consistency.
It doesn't matter what method you choose, the result is easier to measure out than whole spices and easier to store. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.
You can even experiment with mixing different spices to create new flavours. Peppermint and spearmint can be combined to make minty water. Ginger and cardamom pods can be used to make spicy ginger Tea.
Once you've learned how to make powdered spices from scratch, you can apply the same process to herbs. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.
There are so many possibilities. Powdered spices are a great way to make your drinks more flavorful or to enhance dishes like soups and salads.
What kind of mint are used in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine has the most widespread use of lime-leaf mint (Mentha certvina).
It has a mild, citrusy flavour that gives dishes a freshness and zing. Thai dishes often include other spices such as galangal (lemongrass), garlic, and coriander.
Mint is a versatile herb that can be used in both sweet as well as savoury meals. Using the right spices, herbs, and aromatics is essential to achieving delicious authentic Thai flavours.
If you're making Thai dishes, be sure to include lime-leaf fresh mint!
Happy cooking!
Which Thai spice do I need to cook Thai food at home?
In order to cook authentic Thai food at home you will need five spices: black pepper (cayenne), coriander seeds (coriander seeds), turmeric and cinnamon. Each ingredient is unique and plays an integral role in the creation of delicious dishes.
Cinnamon provides sweetness while black pepper enhances the flavours. Curry powder is given its characteristic yellow colour by turmeric and coriander seed. Cayenne peppers are hot, and cilantro adds freshness. The final touch is cinnamon which gives depth and complexity to any dish.
These spices are available at most grocery stores. However, if you prefer to order them online, we have recommendations.

How To
How do you decide which spices to purchase?
You need to be able to select the right herbs and spices to use in your cooking. There are many options available, so how do you choose which ones to add in your pantry?
When choosing spices, there are three things you should consider: the flavour profile, shelf-life, and cost. There are many flavour profiles that can be used depending on how you cook meat, poultry, fish and vegetables as well as beans, grains, pastas, eggs, bread, cakes, and other foods. You'll need to narrow your choices once you've chosen a category.
The shelf life of spices can also vary. Some spices will last forever, others may expire very quickly. Cayenne pepper has a long shelf life, while oregano is only good for two months. There's also the cost. Spices can range anywhere from $1 per tablespoon to more than $100 per ounce. This means that you will need to strike a balance between quality and value.
It's also important to determine if organic or nonorganic ingredients you prefer. Organic products contain fewer chemicals and pesticides than conventional alternatives, making them better for your health and the environment. These products can also be more costly so make sure to weigh the benefits against the costs.
Online shopping is the best method to ensure that you get the right spices for the kitchen. Online retailers offer comprehensive information about every product, including price, reviews, ratings, and ingredients.
After narrowing down your options, you can place an order directly with the retailer. You should store your items in airtight containers, away from heat and sunlight once you receive them.
