I use this blend of spices more during the winter months, but it’s tasty in any season:
HAWAIJ (SWEET YEMENI SPICE BLEND)
Ingredients
2 Tbsp dried ginger (or 2 large dried pieces of ginger)
2 Tbsp cardamom seeds (removed from pods) (or 2 Tbsp ground cardamom)
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground mace (or 2-3 pieces mace)
12 whole cloves (or ½ tsp ground cloves)
1 whole cinnamon stick (or 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon)
Instructions Grind all spices together in a spice grinder. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 12 months.

This sounds delicious. Thank you!
I’ve mixed ginger nutmeg and cinnamon for years in my coffee occasionally. Never thought to throw cardamom in there. Thanks!
When is the best moment to add the spice. Do you stir it in after making the coffee?
I sprinkle it into the grinds before adding the hot water (I use a French press)
