CHINESE 5 SPICE
Though the exact origin of Chinese Five Spice Powder is unknown, it is believed that it is the result of the Chinese attempting to produce the ultimate “wonder powder” – a spice that incorporated all five taste elements: sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, and salty. Traditionally, the measurements follow regional and family traditions.As friends have traveled and shared oral recipes, we have heard tell of the following variations: substitute fresh orange peel for ground cinnamon or add ground, dried ginger root powder, nutmeg, and/ or turmeric.

Our Do It Yourself department is meant to inspire and motivate you to make items you would normally buy at the store.
