4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons turmeric
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom seeds
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cloves

Optional spices, each added in 1/2-teaspoon increments:
ground grains of paradise
ground mace
ground ginger
ground lavender flowers
ground cassia
ground black caraway seeds -- (nigella)

Mix all the ingredients and store in a spice jar. It will keep indefinitely but lose its pungency over time.

Author Note: In spice shops in Morocco, the premier blend is known as 'rasal-hanut', literally "head of the shop". This blend may contain up to twenty-seven different spices, but each merchant has a different-tasting blend because measuring is inaccurate and the spices themselves can vary in intensity and flavor, depending on how old they are or where they came from.
