Ingredients
  

  • 5 Medium Bay leaves
  • 1/2 tsp Celery seed
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Dry mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp White pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Ground cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg (See Notes)
  • 1/4 tsp Allspice (See Notes)

Instructions
 

  • Add about 5 medium Bay leaves to the small blender bowl of a Magic Bullet Blender, using the flat blade, pulse until evenly crushed. (See Notes)
  • Remove any large pieces. Measure out 1/2 Tablespoon. Add to a small bowl.
  • Add all remaining spices to the small bowl and stir until mixed well.

Notes

Old Bay uses a spice called Mace, which is not a common spice. So we used Nutmeg and Allspice instead.
You can do this with a spice grinder if you have one.
Store in an airtight container.
