Step 3: Combine Spices
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all measured spices. Stir them well using a whisk or spoon to ensure even distribution.
Step 4: Taste as You Go
- This step is optional, but who doesn’t love a taste test? Try a tiny pinch of the seasoning to gauge the flavor. Adjust any spices according to your preference.
