Can you add spice to a beverage?
I love spices adding flavour to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?
Spices are excellent because they add incredible depth to any beverage. A dash of cinnamon and nutmeg can make any beverage more delicious, including coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and cocktails.
Most recipes call for ground spices. This means that you'll need fresh whole spice. This makes sense, but it is expensive, takes time, and requires storage space.
That's where the magic happens. It's possible to transform your favorite spices into a powdered form that is easy to use with a bit of creativity. Then you can mix them into your favourite beverages to create delicious spiced drinks.
There are two ways to go about creating these powders. A second method is to grind whole spices into fine powder. A mortar and pestle is another method to grind the spices to a finer consistency.
You'll find it easier to make powder than whole spices, regardless of the method. You won't run short of powder, and it keeps well.
You can also experiment with different spices to create new flavor combinations. To make minty water, you can combine spearmint and peppermint leaves. 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.
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 are the best Thai spices to use?
Galangal (lemongrass), coriander, turmeric and cinnamon are the best Thai spice. You can also use clove, cardamom black peppercorn, clove, cardamom clove, cardamom, fennel seed, star anise, cloves and cayenne pepper as spices.

Step1 - Prepare Ingredients
- Before you start making this recipe, prepare all ingredients.

- Next, peel and slice garlic cloves (about four cloves). Next, peel and mince the lemongrass stems (about 1/2-inch thick).
- 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). Take out the white part and place it in a bowl.
- After draining the shrimp paste, wash it well and then coarsely smash it.
- Measure out the sugar and salt.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients
