Description

Ingredients

• 4 teaspoons whole cardamom pods
• 2 teaspoons whole pink peppercorns
• 2 whole star anise
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 cup granulated sugar

Directions

• Lightly crush the cardamom, peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon and cloves with a mortar and pestle. If you dont have one, seal the spices in a plastic bag and roll over them with a rolling pin. The spices dont need to be completely pulverized - in fact, it is better if they stay in fairly large pieces, because it will make it easier to sift them out later.
• Stir the crushed spices with the ginger and sugar. Store in a glass jar for 3-7 days, depending on how strong you want the flavor of your sugar to be.
• Sift the sugar through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the spices and store in an airtight glass container until ready to use.
