Method

1. Measure out all the ingredients except for the Green Aniseed, Fennel Seeds and Lavender Flowers into a clean, dry container with a lid. (We used a microwave take-away style container, but any plastic lidded container will do.) Make sure there’s enough room for the ingredients to move around freely.
2. Grind the Green Aniseed, Fennel Seeds and Lavender Flowers using a pestle and mortar, coffee grinder or using a grinding blade on a high powered food blender/liquidiser. Add to the rest of the spices.
3. Now replace the lid and shake, shake, shake! Using a spoon or funnel, transfer the spice blend into a sterilised* jam jar or other spice container.
4. Place in a cool dark cupboard until you are ready to use.
