Can you add spice into a drink
I love how spices add flavor to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?
Spices are great because they bring out the best in any beverage. You can add a little cinnamon or nutmeg to any glass of wine, beer or coffee.
Most recipes require ground spices. You will need to use fresh whole spices. While this makes sense, it is costly, takes time and requires storage space.
Here's where the magic happens. With some creativity, your favourite spices can be made into powdered forms that are easy to use. Then you can mix them into your favourite beverages to create delicious spiced drinks.
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. You won't run short of powder, and it keeps well.
Mixing spices can be fun to create new flavors. To make minty water, you can combine spearmint and peppermint leaves. For spicy ginger tea, use ginger and cardamom capsules.
Once you've mastered making powdered spices, you can apply the same technique to herbs. Oregano and rosemary are all popular herbs.
There are many options. Powdered spices can enhance the flavor and texture of beverages, such as soups or salads, as well as the taste of pasta.
What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?
There are no differences between cooking with whole spices or ground spices. After harvesting, spices are ground. So there is no difference in quality.
The price difference is however significant. Whole spices cost more because of the labour involved in processing them. But the flavour is well worth it.
You'll often find extra discounts for bulk purchases when you buy whole spices. If you buy a whole bag of cinnamon sticks, you may get a discount.
This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. This can help you save money on spices if you buy them in bulk.
Ground spices are also more durable than whole spices. Ground spices lose their potency rapidly due to oxygenation.
But the main reason why we recommend purchasing whole spices is that they add a lot of character to recipes.
A delicious curry can be made with whole turmeric as opposed to ground turmeric. Or you can grind whole coriander seeds to create a spice blend for chicken dishes.
Also, grinding spices takes time. It is sensible to purchase large quantities when buying whole spices. That way, you won't run out of spices too fast.

How To
How do you make a garlic press?
A garlic press can be one of the most important tools in a home cook's toolbox. It allows you to efficiently mince garlic into a paste or puree it into a smooth sauce, soup, or salad dressing. It is great for crushing whole garlic cloves in a buttery spread, or garlic salt.
But if you don't own a garlic press yet, you might wonder where to start with one. Here are some tips that will help you get started.
First, you need a large dish. Place the bowl under the pressure regulator and pour the crushed garlic inside. Now adjust the pressure regulator to the maximum.
Next, move the handle clockwise so that you hear a click. You will be able to slide the blade over the bowl by lifting the top part of your press. Continue to turn the handle counterclockwise, until the blades are closed.
Finally, take the pressed garlic out and enjoy!
Here are other ways you can make use of this versatile tool.
- Make minced garlic soups, sauces for salads, dips and seasonings.
- You can crush whole garlic cloves using the press to make a buttery spread
- Put whole garlic cloves on top of pizza dough, before you bake
- Make roasted garlic mashed potatoes, or creamy polenta.
- Make pesto with garlic mashed in the press
- Puree garlic in a smooth vinaigrette
