Making Sweet and Spicy Beer Mustard

This week at Make Your Own at Home we made Sweet & Spicy Beer Mustard! If you like very spicy condiments then this is for you.  If you like it a bit less spicy, then check my tip at the end of the blog.

 

This recipe is one of several that are included in our "Make Your Own Mustard Kit" that was featured on Studio 5!  If you missed that morning show presentation you can see it here. 

What I used to make sweet & spicy beer mustard:

Mustard powder
Mustard seeds
Cider vinegar
Honey
Any kind of beer
Water
Brown sugar
Cinnamon
Clove
Garlic powder

Everything you need to make mustard is included in the kit.  The only thing you add is the beer.  The mustard seeds are not ground up so you can make your mustard have more or less texture based on your personal preferences.  I like food with texture so I did not grind my seeds up to a fine powder.  You can see what I did  here:

Fresh Mustard Seeds

Course Ground Seeds

I combined the water, mustard seeds and mustard powder in a bowl.

Mix completely

After mixing it, let it set for 10 minutes.

Add the honey, vinegar, brown sugar and mix.

Add the garlic powder, beer, cinnamon and clove.   Tip: here is where you should make an adjustment if you prefer a milder flavor.  Try only putting 1/2 the suggested amount of clove and cinnamon.  Mix it well and taste test it.  If you want more spice, add it. 

This is my finished Sweet & Spicy Beer Mustard. It will be thin but it did get a bit thicker in the refrigerator.  It is very spicy and it really was that simple to make!  If you like a sweet mustard, you will find recipes and ingredients for our Honey Mustard or Apple Cider-Maple Mustard in the Make Your Own Mustard Kit.  This kit has a recipe for all types of mustard lovers.  Give it try!  I'll bet you love it and you can say you made it yourself!
