Frequently Asked Questions

Can you add spice into a drink

I love the way spices add flavour to food. But how do you make them come alive when used in drinks?

Spices are great because they bring out the best in 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.

Most recipes require ground spices. You will need to use fresh whole spices. This makes sense, but it is expensive, 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. You can then mix the spices into your favorite beverages to make delicious spiced drinks.

Two ways can you make powders. A second method is to grind whole spices into fine powder. Another uses a mortar and pestle to grind the spices into a finer consistency.

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. To make minty water, you can combine spearmint and peppermint leaves. You can also make spicy ginger-ginger tea by combining ginger and cardamom seeds.

Once you've learned how to make powdered spices from scratch, you can apply the same process to herbs. Some popular herbs include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and sage.

The possibilities are limitless. Use powdered spices to give your beverages extra flavour or to enhance the taste of dishes such as soups, salads, and pasta.

What are the Primary Flavours In Thai Cooking?

Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. These include Northern, Central, Southern, Eastern, Western, and Northeastern Thai food. Each region has its distinctive flavour profile.

Thai food can be described as sweet, salty or sour.

Thais appreciate sweetness. It makes Thai food taste better. Thai cuisine relies heavily on sweet ingredients, such as coconut milk (gula melaka), and palm sugar.

Sourness is also very popular in Thailand. Hot dishes are often paired with sour foods. This helps to balance out the heat.

Spicy food is another crucial ingredient in Thai food. Spices such as chilli pepper, galangal, ginger root, and garlic are used extensively in Thai recipes.
