5 Tbsp vinegar
0.5 cup mustard powder
1 Tbsp (10 g) sugar- 0.25 tsp salt
1 tsp (3 g) turmeric (optional)
0.5 tsp (2 g) sweet paprika (optional)
Instructions¶

For mild mustard, combine the water and vinegar and bring to a boil, then mix in mustard powder, sugar, and salt.
Step 2¶
Using boiling hot vinegar and water will significantly reduce the nose hit from the mustard powder.
Step 3¶
Use cold liquids for hotter mustard. For variations, try substituting a dry white wine or lemon juice in place of the water.
