Grinding Spices
The key to flavorful Mexican Seasoning Homemade is grinding spices and herbs together.
Using a mortar and pestle is the classic way to grind spices and herbs, that’s been done for thousands of years. But modern way of using a spice grinder, like small coffee grinder works very well also. I like the feeling of the actual grinding actions, by using a mortar & pestle, that forces flavors together. It’s all up to personal preferences, the time and energy you want to spend. Both work well and get wonderful results.
