    HOMEMADE GINGERBREAD SPICE (Lebkuchen Gewürz)

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Savor the taste of the holidays with my authentic German Gingerbread Spice mix. This classic spice is not only for Lebkuchen, it is also a unique addition for pancakes, spice cakes, cookies, lattes and so much more!

    Gingerbread Spice Recipe, Gingerbread Spice, Homemade Gingerbread Spice, Lekkuchen Gewürzt Rezept

    Nothing says the holidays more than gingerbread. Skip the store bought and make your own! With a few simple ingredients this spice comes together quick and easy.

    HOW TO MAKE GERMAN GINGERBREAD SPICE

    Similar to the spices common in the U. S., like pumpkin pie spice, or apple pie spice. My authentic German Gingerbread spice is a very aromatic mix of ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, clove, coriander, mace, and cardamom. You can use pre-ground, or whole spices and grind them yourself in a coffee/spice grinder, or a pestle and mortar like I did. Store in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid in a cool, dark place. Spice will keep for 1 year.
