Homemade lacto-fermented honey mustard is super easy to make and so much better than store-bought. Add a little whey, strained from yogurt, and a few days on your countertop, and you have a probiotic packed condiment. And you know how great that is for you.
Making Lacto-Fermented Honey Mustard
This lacto-fermented mustard recipe whips up in no time at all. There’s some soaking, and then some fermenting, but your hands-on time is quick and easy.
And the prepared mustard truly is the best I’ve ever tasted. We love to build a fire in the backyard in the fall, or during maple syrup making time and cook organic hot dogs.
There’s nothing like homemade honey mustard to top those hot dogs! Or try fermenting store-bought ketchup and condiments for those who prefer ketchup.
