- Use high quality black peppercorns. peppercorns that are fresh, aromatic, and free from any signs of moisture or mold. Whole black peppercorns will provide the best flavor when ground.
- Peppercorns have a stronger flavor when they are freshly ground. So I like to make my pepper powder in small batches and use it ASAP.
- Dry-roasting the peppercorns in a pan over low heat for a few minutes can enhance their flavor and aroma. Just be careful not to burn them, as it can result in a bitter taste.
- To preserve the flavor and aroma of the black pepper powder, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. This will help maintain its quality for a longer period.
