Recipe: Asian aromatic mixture
Spices and aromatic herbs mixtures
October 20, 2011
Throughout the summer I harvested and dried many aromatic herbs for two aromatic mixtures, this asian one and a Mediterranean Aromatic Mixture.
 Some fresh ingredients harvested in August: Numex Suave Orange chilies (mild and aromatic), sprigs of horsemint, curry plant and some basil cinnamon leaves.
 I also used balm leaves, chives garlic (similar to chives), anise, lemongrass and some spices that I grown.
Ginger is the only ingredient that I bought.
This mixture is slightly spicy, with a strong aroma of curry and a hint of citrus due to ginger, lemongrass and lemon balm, along with the spicy touch of cinnamon basil and anise.
