Citrus Spice

Makes: A little over 1 tablespoon of spice mix; just perfect for a one-time use

Ingredients

• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp fennel seeds

• 1/2 tsp dried red chili flakes

• 1/2 tbsp orange rind

• 1/2 tbsp lime rind

Method

• Dry the citrus rinds.

  Option 1: Spread out on a plate and sun dry for 2 hours.

  Option 2: Place on a paper towel, and microwave for 3 minutes in increments of 30 seconds, till the rinds are shriveled and dry.

• Crush the dried pieces using a pestle & mortar, along with the fennel and chili flakes to form a coarse mixture. Alternatively, blitz using a food processor, a hand blender, or a coffee grinder. Add the ground cinnamon and nutmeg, and mix well. Store in an air-tight container.
