Stop Buying Mustard — How The Amish Make It From Scratch For Pennies

A jar of mustard costs a couple of dollars and is almost nothing inside — ground seed, vinegar, water, salt, a little turmeric. In this one I show you how to make your own mustard from scratch with cheap mustard seed and a few cupboard things, mild or fierce, smooth or grainy, exactly to your taste — and a few other simple condiments besides, so you can start emptying that whole refrigerator door of store-bought bottles. The trick most people miss: mustard's heat works backwards. The dry seed is nearly tasteless — the heat is created when you grind and wet it, brought out by COOL water and tamed by vinegar, heat, and time. Want it fierce? Mix with cool water and wait. Want it mild? Mix with vinegar from the start and let it rest. That one secret lets you command your mustard every time. ⚠️ Honest note in the video: keep homemade mustard cold in a clean jar and expect it to mellow over days (make it hotter than you want if storing). Mind the sharp fumes when mixing — like fresh horseradish, they sting the eyes and nose, so don't breathe right over the bowl — and respect how hot a fresh brown-seed mustard can be. 👇 Tell me in the comments: have you made your own mustard, and how hot did you dare make it?
