Notes

  • Makes 1 1/2 cups
  • Homemade mustard can be stored in an airtight jar or container, in the refrigerator for maximum freshness.
  • When properly stored, homemade mustard will keep for up to 1 year.
  • The most important thing about homemade mustard is to allow it to sit for a day two before using it. This will allow for the bitter flavor to dissipate from the mustard.
  • If you want a spicier mustard you can add some chiles or horseradish to the mixture before grinding it. If you want a more mild flavor, you can add more sugar and honey to cut through the heat of the seeds.
