Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to add spice to a drink?

I love how spices add flavor 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. Although this is logical, it can be costly, time-consuming, and takes up storage space.

This is where magic happens. You can transform your favourite spices into an easy-to-use powdered form with ingenuity. Then you can mix them into your favourite beverages to create delicious spiced drinks.

There are two possible ways to create these powders. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. A mortar and pestle is another method to grind the spices to a finer consistency.

Whatever method you choose to use, you will find that powders are much easier than whole spices. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.

You can experiment with mixing spices to create different flavours. 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've mastered making powdered spices, you can apply the same technique to herbs. You can use basil, rosemary and thyme as common herbs.

The possibilities are limitless. Powdered spices can enhance the flavor and texture of beverages, such as soups or salads, as well as the taste of pasta.

Does Thai use ginger?

The answer is yes. Traditional Thai cuisine uses ginger extensively. It is commonly added to stir-fries or soups. Ginger is also used in desserts such as lassis.

Ginger is a native of China, Japan, Korea and other Asian countries. Its origins go back over 5,000 years. It is thought that it originated in Southeast Asia, where its medicinal uses were cultivated.

Ginger is known for stimulating digestion and relieving nausea. 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. You can buy ginger root in jars or cans from Asian markets.

How To

How to store cooking spices?

I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First of all, we need to establish an understanding of the science behind the storage of foodstuffs.

Because spices lose their flavour when exposed to the sun, they are best kept out of reach from light. This is because oxygen reacts with organic compounds like those in spices to cause oxidation.

To prevent oxidation, spices should be stored in dark cupboards. Spices will lose their flavour quickly if the conditions aren’t met.

It is the best way to preserve spices' flavours by keeping them out of direct sunlight.

To create a flavorful drink, you can add spices and herbs to water. To make a cinnamon-flavored drink, combine two teaspoons of ground ginger with half a cup of warm water. Stir and mix well. Add a squeeze or lemon juice to the mixture and serve immediately.

Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. 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.

Fresh herbs and spices can be enjoyed by being chopped or broken up. You can also freeze herbs and spices by placing them in ice cube trays or muffin cups and freezing them. Once frozen, place them in freezer bags or zip-top bags.
