Spicy Beer Mustard

Spicy Beer Mustard

Spicy Beer Mustard – this easy-to-make mustard recipe is fantastic on sandwiches and hot dogs, but also in potato salad, or mixed into salad dressings and marinades. Essentially, the condiment we call mustard, also called “prepared mustard,” is just the seeds of the mustard plant plus a liquid, such as water or beer. Adding vinegar or another acid helps preserves the spiciness over time.
