This easy homemade mustard from scratch recipe lets you create a gourmet condiment from simple ingredients you likely already have in your pantry. If you love the bold, tangy taste of mustard, making your own at home is a game-changer!
Blend the Ingredients. Add all the ingredients to a food processor, blender, or immersion blender container: water, mustard seeds, salt, turmeric, garlic powder, paprika, and vinegar. Blend until well combined and most of the whole mustard seeds are ground up.
1 ½ Cups Warm Water, 9 Tablespoons Mustard Seeds, ¾ Teaspoon Salt, ½ Teaspoon Turmeric, ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder, ¼ Teaspoon Paprika, 1/3 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
Cook to Enhance the Flavor. Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously for about 10 minutes, or until you reach your desired thickness. Cooking the mustard helps mellow its bitter flavor.
Strain for Smooth Mustard (Optional). If you prefer a smooth mustard like Dijon mustard, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a glass bowl. Stir to help it pass through.
Let the Mustard Age. Pour the mustard into a glass jar or mason jar. Store it in the refrigerator for at least 3 days to allow the flavors to develop.
Use your homemade mustard on sandwiches, burgers, pretzels, or as a dipping sauce.
