Tips
Adjust to Taste: Feel free to tweak the ingredients based on your preferences. If you like a bit more heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Prefer a sweeter blend? Increase the sugar slightly.
Experiment with Variations: Don’t be afraid to experiment with additional herbs and spices. Adding a bit of smoked paprika or chipotle powder can give your blend a bit of smokiness.
