Frequently Asked Questions

Can you add spice into a drink

I love spices adding flavour to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?

Spices add a wonderful depth to any beverage. You can add a little cinnamon or nutmeg to any glass of wine, beer or coffee.

But, since most recipes call to ground spices, you'll need whole spices. It makes sense but is time-consuming and expensive.

That's where the magic happens. With your creativity, you can turn your favorite spices into easy-to-use powdered products. Mix them with your favorite drinks to make delicious spiced beverages.

These powders can be made in two ways. One method involves grinding whole spices to a 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. Plus, the powder keeps well so that you won't run out of 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. For spicy ginger tea, use ginger and cardamom capsules.

Once you are skilled in the production of powdered spices, it is possible to apply that technique to herbs. You can use basil, rosemary and thyme as common herbs.

The possibilities are limitless. Powdered spices are a great way to make your drinks more flavorful or to enhance dishes like soups and salads.

What is the difference between cooking Whole and Ground Spices? Ground Spices?

There isn't any difference between cooking with whole spices and ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. There is no quality difference.

However, the price difference is substantial. Whole spices are more expensive due to the labour required for processing them. But the flavour is worth it.

You'll often find extra discounts for bulk purchases when you buy whole spices. A whole bag of cinnamon sticks might be eligible for a discount.

This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.

Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. Ground spices lose their potency very quickly due to oxidation.

However, the main reason we recommend whole spices is because they add character to recipes.

For instance, you can make a delicious curry with whole turmeric instead of ground turmeric. You can also use whole coriander to create a spice combination for chicken dishes.

The process of grinding spices takes a lot of time. If you're buying whole spices it makes sense for you to buy large quantities. You won't run low on spices if you buy large quantities.

Does Thai use ginger?

Yes. Traditional Thai cooking makes extensive use of ginger. It is commonly added to stir-fries or soups. Ginger is also used in desserts such as lassis.

Ginger is an indigenous plant of China, Japan and Korea. Its roots date back more that 5,000 years. It is believed it originated in Southeast Asia. There, it was used for medicinal purposes.

Ginger is well-known for its ability to relieve nausea and stimulate digestion. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger can also be used to treat arthritis, muscle spasms, joint pains, or relieve them.

In Thailand, ginger is most often used fresh. The ginger root is cut into thin strips, dried and stored in a sealed container for future use. Asian markets sell ginger root in cans and cans.

What are the principal Flavours in Thai Cuisine?

Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. There are five main types of Thai cuisine: Northern, Central, Southern and Eastern. Each region has a distinct flavour profile.

Thai food contains many flavors.

Sweetness is essential for Thais because it makes the dishes palatable. Thai cuisine has a lot of sweet ingredients such as coconut milk and palm sugar (gula Melaka).

Thailand's most popular food is sourness. Hot dishes are often paired with sour foods. This helps to balance the heat.

Thai food is not complete without spicy food. Thai dishes often use spices such as chili pepper, galangal or ginger root.

What is the most famous ingredient in Thai cooking?

Thailand has two main ingredients that make up the heart and soul of all dishes: rice, curry, and steamed vegetables. This is how you get an unforgettable flavor.

In Thailand, we call this combination "Khao Pad Krai," which means 'the best dish.' This is because when these two basic foods are combined into a single dish, they become incredibly delicious and irresistible.

It's the same for your life. It is possible to achieve great success by combining the two key ingredients of hard work, perseverance, and determination.

The right ingredients can make you successful, like Khao Pad Krai: passion and purpose. When you combine these ingredients, you can create something remarkable.

Next time you feel like eating Thai food, remember that it takes more than just rice and curry to make a memorable meal. You'll be amazed at how much fun you can have experimenting with different ingredients!

What mint is used for Thai food?

Lime-leaf mint (Mentha cervina) is the most commonly used type of mint in Thai cuisine.

It has a mild, lemony flavour that adds freshness and zing to dishes. To enhance Thai cuisine's flavour, other spices like galangal, coriander, lemongrass and garlic are often added.

Mint can be used as a sweet or savoury herb. To achieve authentic Thai flavours, it is important to use the right spices, herbs and aromatics.

For extra flavor, make sure to add lime-leaf mint next time you prepare a Thai meal!

Happy cooking!

How To

How to store spices for cooking?

I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First, we must understand how food is stored.

Spices are stored in airtight containers away from the light because exposure to light diminishes their flavour. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.

To prevent oxidation, spices should be stored in dark cupboards. If these conditions are not met, spices will quickly lose their flavour.

Keep spices in airtight containers away from direct sun to preserve their flavour.

For a flavoured beverage, add herbs and spices. To make a cinnamon-flavored drink, combine two teaspoons of ground ginger with half a cup of warm water. Stir and mix well. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon.

You can add dried herbs and spices to soups, stews, casseroles, pasta, rice dishes, salads, and desserts. Place the spice mixture on top of the dish and allow it to rest for 5-10 mins before serving.

Leftover cooked vegetables, fruits and meats, as well as leftover cheese, breads, crackers, cookies or cakes can be added to favorite recipes for snacks.

To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. Also, you can freeze herbs and spice by placing them into ice cube dishes or muffin cups. Once frozen, transfer them to freezer bags and zip-top plastic bag.
