Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed
- 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
- 1 inch (2 cm) cinnamon stick (, broke apart)
- 1 teaspoon cloves

Method
- Add all the spices into a small pan. Roast over medium heat until fragrance is released. You should hear faint sizzling noises if you hold the pan close to your ear.

- Once cooled down completely, transfer to a coffee grinder or use a mortar and pestle. Ground until it turns to fine powder. Transfer to an airtight jar and store in cool, dark place out of direct sunlight.
