- ¼ cup dry white wine or cooled boiled water (for a non-alcoholic version)
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp coarse salt
Method:
- Grind the Seeds: Place the mustard seeds in a spice grinder and grind them to your desired consistency.
- Mix Ingredients: Transfer the ground seeds to a bowl, add the mustard powder and wine (or water). Stir and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to absorb the liquids.
