Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of mint are used in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine's most used type is lime-leaf, or Mentha cervina.
Its mild, lemony taste adds freshness and zest to dishes. Thai dishes can also be enhanced by adding other spices such galangal or coriander to their flavour.
Mint is a versatile herb that can be used in both sweet as well as savoury meals. For authentic Thai flavours, you must use the right spices and herbs.
If you're making Thai dishes, be sure to include lime-leaf fresh mint!
Enjoy your cooking!
Which Thai spice do I need to cook Thai food at home?
For authentic Thai cooking at home, you need to be familiar with five essential spices: cayenne, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper. Each ingredient has a unique flavor profile and plays an essential role in creating delicious dishes.
Cinnamon provides sweetness while black pepper enhances the flavours. Curry powder is given its characteristic yellow colour by turmeric and coriander seed. Cayenne peppers add heat, while cilantro brings out the freshness. A final ingredient is cinnamon, which adds depth and complexity.
You can buy each of these spices in your local grocery shop, or you can order them online.
Is it possible to add spice to a drink?
It's amazing how spices can add flavour and flavor to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?
Spices are wonderful because they can add depth and flavor to any beverage. From coffee to tea, hot chocolate to cocktails, there's nothing more satisfying than adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to a glass of wine or beer.
However, most recipes call for ground spice so you will need fresh whole spices. While this makes sense, it is costly, takes time and requires storage space.
That's where the magic happens. With your creativity, you can turn your favorite spices into easy-to-use powdered products. You can then mix the spices into your favorite beverages to make delicious spiced drinks.
There are two methods to make these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices into 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. Powder also keeps well so you won't run dry.
You can experiment with mixing spices to create different flavours. For example, you could combine peppermint and spearmint leaves to make minty water. 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. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.
The possibilities are limitless. Powdered spices can be used to add flavour to beverages or enhance the flavor of dishes like soups, salads and pasta.
How to store your spices?
Keep them out of the sun and heat.
You can store them for long periods in a dark cupboard. This will keep the spices fresh and prevent any oxidation.
Keep your spices out of direct sunlight and in a cool dry place. The spice may lose flavour and aroma if placed near a window or heater.
Spices can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. Make sure that there is no moisture in any plastic containers you store spices in.
As humidity can cause mold growth, it is important to check the seal before opening or resealing.
Do not throw away any spices that you have left over. Don't throw them away, instead use them in new recipes. You can even freeze them to extend their shelf life.

How To
How do you decide which spices to purchase?
You need to be able to select the right herbs and spices to use in your cooking. There are hundreds of choices, so where can you start when choosing which spices to add to your kitchen?
When selecting spices, you need to be aware of three key factors: cost, shelf life, flavour, and cost. The flavour profiles of different types of food can vary depending on whether they are used to cook meat, fish or vegetables, as well as pasta, eggs and bread. So once you've decided on a category, you'll need to narrow down your choices based on these differences.
The shelf life of spices can also vary. Some spices can last forever while others go bad quickly. For example, cayenne pepper is good for years and oregano lasts only two months. Then there's the price. Spices can cost anywhere from $1 per tablespoon up to $100 per ounce. This means you have to strike the right balance between quality and cost.
It's also important to determine if organic or nonorganic ingredients you prefer. Organic products use fewer pesticides, chemicals, and other harmful substances than traditional alternatives. This makes them safer for you and the environment. These products can also be more costly so make sure to weigh the benefits against the costs.
Online shopping is the best method to ensure that you get the right spices for the kitchen. Online retailers provide detailed information on each product, including ingredient lists, pricing, reviews, and ratings.
Once you have narrowed down your choices, you can place an online order with the retailer. After you have received your items, keep them safe in an airtight container away from heat or light.
