Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Yellow mustard seeds
• 2 tablespoons Brown mustard seeds
• 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl or glass jar, combine the yellow mustard seeds and brown mustard seeds with apple cider vinegar and water. Stir well to ensure the seeds are fully submerged.

Step 2

Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours. This allows the seeds to soften and the flavors to develop.

Step 3

Once the seeds are hydrated, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the honey, salt, turmeric powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).

Step 4

Blend the mixture on medium speed until it reaches your desired consistency. For a grainy mustard, blend for a shorter time. For a smoother mustard, blend longer.

Step 5

Taste the mustard and adjust the sweetness or seasoning if needed by adding more honey or salt.

Step 6

Transfer the finished mustard to a clean, airtight jar. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before using to allow the flavors to meld and mellow.

Step 7

Store the mustard in the refrigerator for up to 2 months and enjoy as a condiment or cooking ingredient.
