Combine all spices in a bowl and whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution. The volatile compounds in each spice will interact better when fully integrated.
Transfer to an airtight container and store in a cool, dark place. Label with the date — spice potency degrades over time as essential oils evaporate. (For maximum potency, toast whole spices and grind them yourself. The flavor difference is significant.)
This blend will maintain optimal flavor for 6-8 months. The essential oils that give spices their punch are volatile and will dissipate over time, especially when exposed to light and heat.
