  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Equipment

  • airtight jar

Directions
 

  1. Pour the evaporated milk into a very clean jar and add the cardamom, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, and pepper.
  2. Close the jar, shake until the spices are mixed in, and refrigerate.
  3. You can use it right away, but the flavor is best after 24 hours and grows stronger the longer it sits.
