  TIPS:

  • If you can't find (or don't have) some of the ingredients it is OK to leave some out, but make sure you include the cinnamon, cloves, mace, and ginger.

  • If you only have whole spices at home, you can grind the spices yourself using a coffee grinder, or even a food processor and a fine sieve.

  • If you need koekkruiden for a recipe, leave out the cloves.
