Steps:
- Bloom the spices in a large, dry (no oil) skillet. To do this, break up the cinnamon into smaller pieces and then add all the whole spices to a pan over medium heat and stir constantly until the spices begin to "pop" and smell fragrant (3-5 minutes).Alternatively, you can spread the spices across a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven for 5-7 minutes at 360ºF/180ºC.
- Transfer them to a bowl to cool down slightly.
- Transfer the spice mixture to either an electric coffee/spice grinder OR a high-speed blender (though a larger batch will be needed to work in a blender). Grind into a powder.For a machine-free alternative, you can use a mortar and pestle to manually grind the spices into a powder consistency.
- Sieve the mixture for a fine powder. If you have enough larger pieces remaining, you can re-grind them once more.
- Transfer the spice blend to an airtight glass container. It can help to use a funnel.

Different regions within Lebanon have their own recipes and ratios, with some using other spices such as white pepper, fenugreek and/or paprika. Seven spice is what lends distinctive flavor to regional dishes, notably kebabs, koftas and dolmas. You can also use it to flavor meat, vegetables and rice.

This will give you a finer grind than a spice grinder. * Store the spice blend in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 6 months. * Experiment with different ratios of spices to find the blend that you like best. * Use the spice blend to flavor a variety of dishes, such as grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and soups.Conclusion
