Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add spice into a drink
I love how spices bring flavour to food. But how can you make them live when they're used in drinks.
Spices are wonderful because they can add depth and flavor to any beverage. You can add a little cinnamon or nutmeg to any glass of wine, beer or coffee.
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. These spices can be mixed into favorite beverages to create tasty spiced drinks.
There are two possible ways to create these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices to a fine powder. Another method is to use a mortar & pestle to grind the spices until they are finely ground.
Whichever method you choose, you'll find that the resulting powder is much easier to measure out 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. You could make minty water by combining spearmint and peppermint. To make spicy ginger tea, you can also combine ginger and cardamom pods.
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.
There are many options. You can use powdered spice to enhance the flavour of your drinks or dishes like soups, salads, or pasta.
What is the Thai use for mint?
Thai cuisine has the most widespread use of lime-leaf mint (Mentha certvina).
It has a mild, citrusy flavour that gives dishes a freshness and zing. Thai dishes often include other spices such as galangal (lemongrass), garlic, and coriander.
Mint can be used as a sweet or savoury herb. It is crucial to use authentic Thai flavors by using the right spices, herbs, aromatics.
For extra flavor, make sure to add lime-leaf mint next time you prepare a Thai meal!

How To
How can I store my cooking spices?
This article will show you how to store cooking spice for optimal performance. 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 due oxygen reacting with organic compounds such that spices, causing oxidation.
To avoid oxidation, spice should be kept in dark cupboards. If these conditions are not met, spices will quickly lose their flavour.
Keep spices fresh by storing them in airtight jars out of direct sunlight.
You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. For example, you could mix 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon in 1/2 cup of warm milk and stir it well. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve immediately.
Add dried herbs and spices to soups. Place the spice mixture on top of the dish and allow it to rest for 5-10 mins before serving.
You can add leftover cooked vegetables, fruits, meats and shellfish to your favorite recipes as snacks.
To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Once frozen, place them in freezer bags or zip-top bags.
