Colman's Double Superfine Mustard Powder

Colman's mustard is the quintessentially British mustard. It's been said that a loyal contingent of Brits carry a tin of Colman's dry mustard wherever they go. At meal time they add a little water to Colman's mustard powder, stir it into a paste, and plaster it at the side of their plates like a national calling card.

It is claimed that Colman's mustard fine taste and pungency is enhanced by the absence of any heat treatment to the mustard seeds, which seem to be a combination of brown (Brassica juncea) and white (Sinapis alba) mustard seeds, both grown to specification according to a well guarded formula. Hence, those who love Colman's fiery flavor, and they are many, will stir it generously into gravy, smear it on roast, or lash it onto a sandwich.

To make up Colman's Powdered Mustard mix equal amounts of powder and water, stir well, and allow 10 minutes standing time to allow the full flavor to develop. The water acts as a catalyst that helps yield the essential oil of mustard which produces that unmistakable taste. Only make enough mustard for immediate use in order to always have the freshest quantity and quality.
