Sorry, this was the first recipe I posted so I didn't know what I was doing. It's only 4 years later, but the ingredient list is more comprehensive now. Hope this is still relevant!

if you click on 'Ingredient Details' it will give you specific amounts of everything. but really, with any of the spices you can add them depending on how much you like or dislike them. mine comes out a little different every time. :)
