English Mustard

Directions

1. 1
   Toast the mustard seeds in a small dry pan (I use a cast iron pan) over medium heat, shaking occasionally, until the seeds start to pop. Remove from heat and tip the seeds into a mortar and pestle and crush them a few times. (If you don't have a mortar and pestle, tip them into a bowl and use the back of a spoon to crush them).
2. 2
   In a glass or pottery bowl, blend the crushed mustard seeds, mustard powder and water thoroughly and let stand for 20 minutes. (You can drink the remaining beer while you're waiting!).
3. 3
   Add the cayenne pepper, tumeric powder and salt. Stir to combine, then add the honey, vinegar and beer.
4. 4
   If the mixture seems too thin, add up to one more tablespoon of mustard powder to help thicken it.
5. 5
   Pour mustard into a small jar, cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days before using to let the flavors combine.
6. 6
   Enjoy!
