Ingredients
- ½ cup of popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Air-pop the popcorn using your preferred method and transfer it to a large bowl.
- Drizzle the melted coconut oil over the popcorn and toss to coat evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, salt, and cloves.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture over the popcorn and toss well to coat.
Notes
- Use the right pan: When making popcorn on the stove, use a large, heavy-based pan with a glass lid (to monitor the kernels as they pop).
- Don’t overload the pan: Remember that the kernels need space to pop. Pop them in batches if you only have small pots.
- To avoid burned popcorn: Shake the pan occasionally and stop cooking when there is a 2-3 second silence between pops.
- Taste and adjust: Start with half the spice mix and sweetener, then increase to taste.
