Make Your Own Mustard
The basic recipe consists of mustard powder, mustard seeds, vinegar, water and salt. You can use different kinds of vinegar and then add whatever seasoning you like. Honey is obviously a popular choice. David Lebovitz adds maple syrup and horseradish to his mustard. You can use apple cider vinegar and apples, you could add almonds or pine nuts, and you could (and should) even add beer. The key for any mustard recipe is to let the mustard seeds soak overnight or up to two days before you get started. This will make them easy to blend. If you don’t soak your seeds, you’ll have to use a mortar and pestle to grind them up into powder.
