Equipment

  • Spice grinder (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 6 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 5 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 teaspoon ground cardamom (from green pods)
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • If you use whole cardamom pods, then you need to pick the seeds out and grind them smaller using an electric spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
  • Then measure all your dried spice powders into a jar and mix them together. The total amount makes 6 tablespoons of spice mix. It fits for example in a half-cup mason jar.

Notes

If you can find bitter orange peel as a dried powder, that is also a common ingredient in Finnish and Swedish gingerbread mixes. You can add 1-2 teaspoons of pomeranssi, pomerans in addition to the other spices.
