Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add spice to a beverage?
I love the way spices add flavour to food. But how can you make them live when they're used in drinks.
Spices are excellent because they add incredible depth to 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.
But most recipes call for ground spices, meaning you'll need fresh whole spices. It makes sense but is time-consuming and expensive.
This is where the magic happens. It's possible to transform your favorite spices into a powdered form that is easy to use with a bit of creativity. Mix them with your favorite drinks to make delicious spiced beverages.
There are two possible ways to create these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices into fine powder. A mortar and pestle is another method to grind the spices to a finer consistency.
No matter which method you use, the powder will be much easier to measure and store than whole spices. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.
You can even experiment with mixing different spices to create new flavours. For example, you could combine peppermint and spearmint leaves to make minty water. Or ginger and cardamom pods to make spicy ginger tea.
Once you've learned how to make powdered spices from scratch, you can apply the same process to herbs. Oregano and rosemary are all popular herbs.
The possibilities are endless. Powdered spices are a great way to make your drinks more flavorful or to enhance dishes like soups and salads.
Which Thai spice do I need to cook Thai food at home?
For authentic Thai cooking at home, you need to be familiar with five essential spices: cayenne, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper. Each of these ingredients has its distinct flavour profile and plays a vital role in creating delicious dishes.
Cinnamon provides sweetness while black pepper enhances the flavours. Coriander seeds give curry powder its distinctive yellow colour, while turmeric adds a spicy kick. Cayenne peppers heat up the dish, while cilantro adds flavor and freshness. Finally, cinnamon can add depth and complexity in any dish.
These spices are available at most grocery stores. However, if you prefer to order them online, we have recommendations.
What spices are commonly used in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine is well-known for its rich flavour profiles. These flavors are created from unique, flavorful spices which create delicious dishes.
Common ingredients in Thai cuisine include galangal and kaffir lime leaves, chilies, garlic, chillies, chillies, ginger, coriander and cumin.
Each one of these spices adds to Thai cuisine’s unique flavour profile. You will often find lemongrass in soups, curries and stews. Galangal gives dishes a peppery flavor; chilies add a spicy kick to dishes. Shrimp paste adds umami depth to dishes. Coriander adds a mild yet fragrant aroma to dishes. Cumin adds a smokey flavour to dishes. Turmeric gives dishes a bright yellow hue.
Combining these spices together creates complex flavour profiles, which are unique to Thai food. A combination of spices can be used to create both aromatic and flavorful dishes. Stock up on these spices if you want to incorporate the Thai flavours into your cooking.
What Spices or Herbs Go Best With Potatoes?
A potato is a great side dish for almost any meat. You may be familiar with the many ways you can serve potatoes other than mashed.
These versatile vegetables can be used in a variety of dishes including soups, casseroles, and pasta dishes. Not only are potatoes great with spices, but so are many herbs and other seasonings.
These tasty recipes will make your potato recipe even more delicious

How To
Are you a master of making curry paste?
Curry paste includes dried chillies (scallions, shallots), galangal root and lemongrass as well as kaffir lime leaves, garlic, shrimp pastes, sugar, salt and sometimes coconut milk. It's a common ingredient in Thai cuisine.
Curry paste is a popular condiment in Southeast Asia. Curry paste can add a distinct flavour to many dishes like curries.

- Begin by peeling and cutting shallots into small pieces (about 2 cups). Cut galangal root in small pieces, about 3 inches long. Set aside.
- Next, peel and slice garlic cloves (about four cloves). Peel and finely mince lemongrass stems (about 1/2 inch thick).
- After that, you will need to crush dried red chili peppers (about four tablespoons) before removing the seeds (optional).
- Next, cut the kaffir-lime leaves into thin strips (5 inches). The white part of your stem should be removed and put aside.
- Once the shrimp paste has been drained, rinse it and then coarsely crush it.
- Final, weigh out salt and sugar.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients

Step4 - Serve
