Notes
- Get new spices from the bulk section of your grocery store so they're fresh and fragrant. The bulk section is also less expensive than buying whole bottles of spices.
- If making for multiple holiday gifts, roll curser over the number of servings in the recipe card to choose the number of servings you plan on making. Mix spices in a bowl and divide into individual gift jars or small spice containers.
- Include a recipe to use this spice mix with, like this gingerbread cake.
