Tips

• Dry all tools before use.
• Shake the seasoning before use so as to remix any spice or herb that's settled at the bottom of the container.
• It's best to make in small batches and not store for too long so there is no flavor loss. I recommend not storing it for more than 3 months.
• Don't pour seasoning from the container directly over steaming food to prevent moisture from getting into the jar and causing it to clump or moldy.
• Adjust the pepper quantity to your preference.
• You can grind the mix in a dry mill for a finer texture.
