Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup yellow dry mustard powder
- 1 cup water filtered
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/8 tsp paprika
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- To make the mustard, warm water in a stainless steel saucepan and add dry mustard powder, water, salt, garlic powder, turmeric powder, and paprika.
- Keep stirring for 30-45 minutes on low heat till it becomes a thick, bubbly mixture. Make sure you open your windows and keep the area well-ventilated as the pungency can cause you to cough.
- Now, whisk the vinegar into the thick mixture little by little till it comes to the consistency that you prefer. This may take about 7-10 minutes. Take it off the heat.
- Let the prepared mustard mixture come to room temperature. Transfer it to a clean glass jar and refrigerate. You can use it for up to three months.
Notes
It is important to use a stainless steel pot to make the mustard as aluminum or copper can cause it to have an off-color. You can also use glass or ceramic pots.
