Instructions
- Gather all the necessary spices and a medium-sized mixing bowl to prepare this aromatic blend.

- Carefully transfer the spice mixture into the container, using a funnel if needed to minimize spillage.
- Seal the container tightly, ensuring a complete and airtight closure.
- Store the spice blend in a cool, dark pantry or cupboard away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Notes
- Maximize flavor by using freshly ground spices that haven’t lost their potency or aroma.
- Customize heat levels by adjusting red pepper flakes or adding extra chili powder to match your personal spice tolerance.
- Create a smoother texture by grinding the mix in a spice grinder or using a mortar and pestle for a more uniform blend.
- Enhance meat absorption by allowing the seasoning to rest on the surface for at least 30 minutes before cooking, letting the flavors penetrate deeply.
- Preserve freshness by storing the seasoning in an airtight container away from direct sunlight and heat, ensuring peak taste for up to half a year.
