Notes
For the best taste, ensure that your spices are fresh. Over time, spices lose their strength. In case your spices have been sitting in your cupboard for more than a year, think about getting new ones.
You can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper in the mix according to your taste. If you like milder seasoning, reduce the cayenne pepper by half.
To get a consistent flavor, use measuring spoons for all your spices. Make sure to level off each spoonful for precision, ensuring that each batch of seasoning tastes the same.
Instead of mixing the spices directly in a bowl, you can use a spice grinder or a small food processor to blend everything smoothly. This helps to break down any larger granules, especially salt, making the seasoning more uniform.
