Notes
Use the freshest spices possible to ensure the most robust and vibrant flavors in your pickling.
Feel free to tweak the spice quantities to match your personal taste preferences or the specific type of pickles you're making.
Store the spice mix in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency for longer.
For a finer texture, you can lightly crush the spices with a mortar and pestle before mixing them.
