Homemade Mustard Recipe - Easy & Flavorful Condiment

Ingredients

Servings:
3
  • 1 cup yellow mustard seeds
  • 1 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 cup water (filtered or distilled)
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey (for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (for color)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (for spiciness)
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns (for a kick)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Soak the Mustard Seeds

    In a bowl, combine yellow mustard seeds with water and soak for at least 8 hours or overnight.

    The longer you soak, the milder the flavor.
  2. Blend Ingredients

    Drain the mustard seeds and transfer them to a blender. Add white wine vinegar, salt, and optional ingredients.

    Adjust vinegar for desired tanginess.
  3. Blend to Desired Consistency

    Blend on high until smooth or leave it slightly chunky, depending on your preference.

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  4. Transfer to Jar

    Pour the mustard into a clean jar and seal tightly.

    Use a funnel for easy transfer.
  5. Let it Mature

    Allow the mustard to sit at room temperature for 2 days to develop flavors, then refrigerate.

    The flavor will improve over time.
