Hot Spice, for Flavouring Sauce, Gravies, Etc

Take half an ounce each of cinnamon, black pepper, and ginger. Pound them thoroughly in a mortar, and with them three-quarters of an ounce of cayenne, one ounce of mace, two ounces of finely-grated nutmeg, three ounces of white pepper, and a dozen cloves. When thoroughly pounded and mixed put these ingredients into a bottle, and keep the spice closely stoppered until required. Time, half an hour to prepare. Probable cost, 1s. 8d. When it is to be used, try a little pinch of the powder at first, and add more if required.
