Frequently Asked Questions
Can you put spice in a drink?
I love how spices add flavor to food. How can you make spices come to life when they are used in drinks?
Spices can bring out the best of any beverage. There's nothing better than adding cinnamon or nutmeg in your glass of wine or beer, whether it's coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or cocktails.
Most recipes call for ground spices. This means that you'll need fresh whole spice. It makes sense but is time-consuming and expensive.
That's where the magic happens. You can transform your favourite spices into an easy-to-use powdered form with ingenuity. To make tasty spiced drinks, you can combine them with your favourite beverages.
There are two methods to make these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices to a fine powder. One method involves using a mortar-and-pestle to grind spices into 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. Powder also keeps well so you won't run dry.
Mixing different spices can create new flavors. To make minty water, you can combine spearmint and peppermint leaves. Ginger and cardamom pods can be used to make spicy ginger Tea.
Once you are skilled in the production of powdered spices, it is possible to apply that technique 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.
How do I make Thai food at home using Thai spices?
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 has a unique flavor profile and plays an essential role in creating delicious dishes.
Cinnamon adds sweetness, while black pepper brings out savoury flavours. Coriander seeds provide a spicy kick and turmeric gives curry powder the yellow color it is known for. Cayenne peppers are hot, and cilantro adds freshness. Finally, cinnamon adds depth and complexity to any dish.
Each of these spices is available in your local grocery. If you'd rather buy them online, the following are our recommendations.
What mint is used for Thai food?
Thai cuisine uses the most popular type of mint, the lime-leaf (Mentha cevina).
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 and can be used in both sweet and savoury recipes. You can create authentic Thai flavours by choosing the right herbs, spices, and aromatics.
next time you make a Thai dish, don't forget to include some lime-leaf mint for extra flavour!
Happy cooking!

How To
How to decide what spices to buy?
Cooking requires you to learn how to choose the right herbs for your recipes. There are many choices. So where do you start?
When choosing spices, there are three things you should consider: the flavour profile, shelf-life, and cost. You can choose to use different flavour profiles depending on whether your cooking involves meat, poultry or fish, vegetables and pasta. Once you've settled on a category, it's time to narrow down your choices.
The shelf life of spices can also vary. Some spices keep forever, while some others are prone to deterioration quickly. Cayenne pepper, for example, can last years while oregano, on the other hand, loses its potency within two months. The price is another factor. Spices can cost anywhere from $1 per tablespoon up to $100 per ounce. This means you'll need to find a balance between value and quality.
It is also important to decide if you prefer organic ingredients or not. Organic products are less chemically and pesticide-laden than other alternatives. They are better for your environment and health. These products can also be more costly so make sure to weigh the benefits against the costs.
Shopping online is the best way to ensure you pick the right spices for your kitchen. Online retailers provide detailed information on each product, including ingredient lists, pricing, reviews, and ratings.
Once you've narrowed your list, you can order directly from the retailer. Once you have received your items safely store them in an airtight container, away from heat & light.
