German Mustard Recipe

Some weeks ago I was asked by a FaceBook fan for a German mustard recipe. I had not thought about of home made German mustard recipe,  so I looked around and I found an original German mustard recipe for normal to medium hot mustard. It is so easy and I think it is healthier too because if you cannot get original German mustard, the US brands are adding far too many chemicals and preservatives to the mustard. So here is a basic recipe that you can vary with other spices and herbs.
If you cannot get mustard flour use the seeds which you needed to be ground with a grinder. Happy Cooking!

25 g salt or  5 tsp or to taste
