RECIPE 1
The basic recipe
For about three glasses of mustard you need:
200 g of mustard seeds
275 ml white balsamic vinegar
100 ml of water
80 g of sugar
3 teaspoons salt
some turmeric for the color
How to prepare the homemade mustard:
You start by grinding the mustard seeds as finely as possible. It works
best with a coffee grinder, alternatively with a mortar. The finer you
make the grains, the finer the mustard. Tip: If you do not want to grind
the grains yourself, you can use 200 grams of mustard flour.
Heat the water with the balsamic vinegar in a saucepan.
Take the pot off the stove and let the liquid cool to a lukewarm
temperature. This step is especially important so that the mustard does
not become bitter.
Mix all dry ingredients together.
Pour the liquid over the mustard flour and stir for at least five minutes with a blender.
Fill the mustard in sterilized, well-sealable glasses.
Let the mustard stand for three days, then it loses its initial sharpness.
