Making Your Own Spices From Scratch

You can make homemade spices out of ordinary ingredients that you already have! Not only that but we use a similar method to make our own beef jerky using our own spices! Homemade spices and homemade beef jerky, as easy as you can make it. Thank you to Brod and Taylor for sponsoring this video!

A tip to share (I dehydrate a lot): Leave the freshly dried herbs out for at least 10 minutes to cool *completely* before grinding. Josh didn't mention it. The leftover heat can make the herbs retain moisture. You want to avoid that.

Me: oooo this will be cool maybe I’ll do this
Joshua: first we need a dehydrator
Me: lmao nevermind

[majinpvegeta]

Bonus: You can make cheese powder the same way.. Grate fresh cheese onto a sheet and place into dehydrator. Throw it in a food processor or blender. Powdered Smoked Cheddar is good stuff :)

I've been in the restaurant biz for 20 yrs 10+ yrs as a chef. You're content is very good and keeps one engaged. Great work, thank u for all those wanting to always keep learning with food. It's basic but never thought of making own spices, plus the savings are huge, given the prices these days

Me: watches this video
Joshua: "dehydrator"
Me: *goes to the store and buys spices instead *

Big tip for preparing the beef jerky:

Freeze your meat for like 15 minutes or until pretty firm, but not frozen. It'll be easier to slice thin.

I love how all these diy making your own food is popping up during quarentine

[rerezpect]

Ancient way:
Throw ingredient ouside and let sun doing their job (dehydrate ingredient) until night comes.
Then.. crush them in mortar.

At this point of time, I breathe in b-roll.

3:39 " *Any* mushroom."
It's gonna be real interesting the next time I make mushroom risotto.

To everyone saying "never mind" because they don't have a dehydrator: He was only pushing it because the video is sponsored! Not a big deal, dude has to get his coin, yo. You can TOTALLY use an oven! <3 It's usually low heat for several hours, though. So just be prepared.

You can also take your spices, add them to coarse salt, and fill your favorite grinder... 60% rosemary (or mix) to 40% salt, is amazing on almost everything. You could add some lemon zest to either salt or pepper. Instant flavor upgrades!

Pro tip: when you blend up dried chilis (or whatever you're using), leave the lid on the blender for 10-15 minutes after blending in order to let the dust from the chilis settle.

Amateurs only spice their food. Here, we spice the very air you breathe, bringing you the complete experience.

[harambe]

Joshua: dehydrator
Asians: oh yeah, we can use sun for that

[zayvs]

Nobody:

Joshua: “be careful opening this cause the air might be a little bit 𝓈 𝓅 𝒾 𝒸 𝓎"

[tranqe]

Joshua: Be careful when opening the blender.
Me: *stood inside a kitchen with a thai mom roasting her chili like no big deal and myself dying*

Who else was mesmerized by watching the spices dance in the blender?
