Powdered Bay Leaves Recipe
Yield: 1 batchRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
Bay leaves,
Directions:
Witty writes: "Spice packers used to offer jars of ground bay leaves,
but no more, alas. So I grind my own, a simple matter for anyone who
possesses a little electric spice mill, or even a coffee mill that
has a horizontal, or windmill grinding apparatus.
"Tips: Remove any bits of stem (these are hard to grind) and crumble
the leaves coarsely before starting to grind them. Grind enough bay
leaves for a tiny jarful at a time, as whole leaves retain their
flavor longer than the powder does. Pack the powder firmly into its
jar and store it away from heat and light."
Keeps for a few weeks in a cool, dark place.
