1x2x3x

• 3 Tablespoons Ground Ginger
• 1 ½ Teaspoons Allspice
• 1 ½ Teaspoons Ground Cloves

Notes

• If desired, you can add ¼ teaspoon cardamom for another boost of flavor, although it’s not
  necessary.
• I wouldn’t freeze or refrigerate this spice mix as the moisture will ruin it.
• The great thing about making your own spice mixes is that you can adjust them to suit
  your preferences. If you would like one spice to be a little more prominent, simply add some extra until it’s just right for you.
