Toast all ingredients, except the freshly ground nutmeg, in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Return everything to the bowl, let it cool, and then grind it in a food processor. Add the ground nutmeg and fill everything into sterilized jars and label them. This makes approximately 40 g.
