Notes
Inspired by traditional German Lebkuchen for a deeper, more authentic flavour.
Use 1–2 teaspoons in biscuits, cakes, porridge, granola, or coffee.
For stronger aroma, mix into melted butter or warm honey before adding to bakes.
Store in an airtight jar for up to 1 year.
Pairs beautifully with my Christmas baking recipes (link one internally if you like).
