How to Make German Gingerbread Spice

If you have whole spices (which have a longer shelf life), place the spices in a clean knife coffee grinder (one that looks like a food processor inside, not a burr grinder) and grind until they are fine. Alternatively, use store-bought ground spices. Sift any freshly ground spices through a fine sieve to remove large pieces and add to other ground spices. Mix the spices together thoroughly and place in an airtight container to store.
