Method 3 steps
Individually toast all the whole spices and herbs in a dry skillet over low heat, shaking, until a shade darker and aromatic. Make sure not to burn.
Remove from the heat, transfer to a cool container, and let cool.
Using a grinder, blender, or mortar, grind/pound all the herbs and spices together to make an even powder.
