Notes
- Although we have included salt in our recipe, you can totally skip it if you don’t want salt in yours.
- Increase the hotness in your batch by increasing the amount of cayenne pepper used. And if you need it to be super hot and spicy, substitute hot paprika in place of regular paprika or use about a teaspoon of red chili flakes.
- Throw in a dash of light brown sugar if you wish to have a complementary flavor.
- This reasoning blend will stay fresh and flavorful when appropriately stored in a well-fitting glass container and kept in a cool, dry, dark place. Make sure to use new spices and herbs since the freshness of your ingredients directly affects the longevity of your blend.
