Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Paprika
  • 2 tbsp Celery salt
  • 1 tbsp Ground bay leaves
  • 1 tsp Dry mustard powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Ground nutmeg

  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Ground clove
  • 1/4 tsp Cardamom

Instructions
 

  • Gather all spices. If using whole bay leaves, grind them in a dedicated spice grinder until they form a fine powder.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the paprika, celery salt, ground bay leaves, dry mustard, black pepper, nutmeg, ginger, cayenne, cinnamon, clove, and cardamom.
  • Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed and any clumps are broken up.
  • Transfer the seasoning blend to a small airtight glass jar or spice container.
  • Store in a cool, dark place (like a pantry or cupboard) for up to 6 months for best flavor.
