Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp brown or yellow mustard seeds (or a mix of both)
• ¼ cup mustard powder
• ¼ cup dry white wine or cooled boiled water (for a non-alcoholic version)
• 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 1 tsp coarse salt

Method:

1. Grind the Seeds: Place the mustard seeds in a spice grinder and grind them to your desired consistency.
2. Mix Ingredients: Transfer the ground seeds to a bowl, add the mustard powder and wine (or water). Stir and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to absorb the liquids.
3. Add Vinegar and Salt: Incorporate the white wine vinegar and coarse salt, mixing thoroughly until well combined.
4. Jar and Cure: Spoon the mustard into a clean jar. Let it sit at room temperature overnight, then move it to the fridge. Allow the mustard to mature for at least 4 days, or up to 2 weeks, to develop the flavors.
