• Baharat Spice Mix

    Description & Use: Baharat may be best described as an exotic spice blend that fills your head with diverse aromas, is not hot, yet conveys all the romantic fragrances of everything that is spice. A traditional mix of Baharat, added to recipes in much the same way as Indians would add garam masla, is made by blending a well-balanced combination of sweet, pungent, hot and amalgamating freshly ground spices. The result is a beautifully balanced spice with a woody bouquet, aromatic bay-rum notes, mellifluous cinnamon/cassia sweetness, deep pungency and an apple-like fruitiness.
