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 can bring out the best of any beverage. A dash of cinnamon and nutmeg can make any beverage more delicious, including coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and cocktails.
But, since most recipes call to ground spices, you'll need whole spices. It makes sense but is time-consuming and expensive.
Here is where the magic happens. You can transform your favourite spices into an easy-to-use powdered form with ingenuity. Mix them with your favorite drinks to make delicious spiced beverages.
There are two methods to make these powders. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. Another way is to grind the spices in a mortar and pestle.
No matter which method you use, the powder will be much easier to measure and store than whole spices. Plus, the powder keeps well so that you won't run out of stock.
Mixing different spices can create new flavors. You could make minty water by combining spearmint and peppermint. Or ginger and cardamom pods to make spicy ginger tea.
Once you are proficient in making powdered spice, you can also apply this technique to herbs. Basil, rosemary, thyme and sage are some of the most popular herbs.
There are many options. Powdered spices are a great way to make your drinks more flavorful or to enhance dishes like soups and salads.
What are the 11 spices of Indian cooking?
The eleven spices of Indian cuisine are coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, nigella seeds, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon sticks, dry red chili powder, turmeric, and cardamom.
These ingredients are used in almost every dish. These spices are used in almost every dish, including curries, curries, chutneys (pickles), rice, bread and sweets.
Also, spices have many health benefits. Turmeric, for example, is known to fight cancer cells. Bad breath can be prevented with cloves. Black pepper reduces cholesterol. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.
A spice rack is a great kitchen tool because it allows you to experiment with different combinations of flavors. You can either make your own spice blends or purchase ready-made spices.
Some people don't like spices. Some people believe spices can only mask the natural flavor of food and don't improve it. A pinch of salt and pepper can enhance the flavor of your food.
Most chefs agree that spices are an essential part of cooking art. Many dishes would lack flavor and be boring without them. Try a new recipe next time you feel adventurous.
What is the Thai use for mint?
The most common type of mint used in Thai cuisine is lime-leaf mint (Mentha Cervina).
It adds freshness to dishes with its mild, lemony flavor. Thai dishes often include other spices such as galangal (lemongrass), garlic, and coriander.
Mint can be used as a sweet or savoury herb. For authentic Thai flavours, you must use the right spices and herbs.
For extra flavor, make sure to add lime-leaf mint next time you prepare a Thai meal!
Enjoy your cooking!

How To
Are you a master of making curry paste?
Curry paste contains dried chillies and shallots, galangal roots, lemongrass (kaffir lime leaf), garlic, shrimp paste, sugar and salt. It's used extensively in Thai cuisine.
Curry paste is one of the most popular condiments in Southeast Asia. It gives many dishes a unique taste, including curries, soups stir-fries, stir-fries and salads.
It's not difficult to make at home! Follow the steps below to make it easy!
Step1 - Prepare Ingredients
- Before you can start the recipe, it is important to have all the ingredients ready.
- Start by peeling and chopping shallots (about 2 cups). Then, cut the galangal roots into small pieces (approximately 3 inches in length), and then set aside.
- Next, slice four garlic cloves. Finely chop the lemongrass stems to about 1/2 inch in thickness.
- Crush the red chilli peppers with about four tablespoons of water and remove the seeds.
- Next, cut the kaffir-lime leaves into thin strips (5 inches). Set aside the white portion of the stem.
- After that, wash and drain shrimp paste (about 6 ounces), then coarsely mash it.
- Measure out the sugar and salt.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients
- Grind all ingredients together until smooth.
- The texture should be comparable to peanut butter.
- Take note: If you are looking to reduce oil in your dish you can add water to the mix.
Step3 - Add Coconut Milk
- Add coconut milk to the mixture and mix well.
- To prevent the coconut milk from becoming too sticky, slowly add it.
- You can reduce the amount of chillies and increase the quantity of galangal root if you prefer it less spicy.
- You may prefer it hotter, so add more chilies or less galangalroot. The end result should be delicious.
Step4 -- Serve
- Top with your favorite food.
- Enjoy!
