*This recipe makes spicy Dijon mustard. To adjust the heat, reduce the amount of brown mustard seeds. If too bitter, add 1/2-1 teaspoon of brown sugar.
While this mustard can last for up to a couple of months, you do want to check it for spoilage. Once it starts to dry up, darken, or begin to separate, then you should not consume.
