Directions
-
Place the white mustard seeds in a clean, dry glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
-
Warm the champagne vinegar gently in a small saucepan over low heat until just hot to the touch, but not boiling.
-
Pour the warm vinegar over the mustard seeds in the jar, ensuring all seeds are fully submerged.
-
Seal the jar tightly and place it in a cool, dark location, such as a pantry or cupboard.
-
Allow the mixture to steep for 2 weeks, shaking the jar gently every few days to help distribute the flavors.
-
After steeping, transfer the contents to a food processor and blend until smooth, or use a mortar and pestle to pound into a paste.
-
If a finer texture is desired, press the mustard through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining seed skins.
-
Spoon the finished mustard into sterilized jars, seal tightly, and refrigerate until ready to use.
