Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Yellow mustard seeds
• 2 tablespoons Brown mustard seeds
• 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup Filtered water
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the yellow and brown mustard seeds with the apple cider vinegar and filtered water. Stir well, ensuring the seeds are well-soaked.

Step 2

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours or overnight to allow the seeds to soften and absorb the liquids.

Step 3

Once the seeds are softened, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor.

Step 4

Add turmeric powder, honey, ground paprika, ground black pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the blender.

Step 5

Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches your desired mustard consistency. For a smooth mustard, blend for 2-3 minutes. For a coarse, grainy mustard, pulse only a few times.

Step 6

Taste the mustard and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add a little water if the consistency is too thick.

Step 7

Transfer the finished mustard to an airtight jar or container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Step 8

Allow the mustard to sit for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator before using to let the flavors meld together beautifully.
