Ingredients

Instructions

  1. To make the ground bay leaves, add 8-10 whole bay leaves to a spice grinder or a coffee grinder and grind until you have a fine powder. Depending on the strength of your grinder, this can take a couple of minutes. Alternatively, you may use a mortar and pestle to crush the bay leaves into powder.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon ground bay leaves, 1 tablespoon celery salt, 2 ½ teaspoons paprika, 1 ½ teaspoon ground mustard, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper, ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves, and ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom to a small bowl and mix until combined.
  3. Use in place of store-bought Old Bay seasoning.
