Can I substitute allspice for nutmeg cloves and cinnamon?

Allspice is a spice made from the dried unripe fruit of the Pimenta dioica plant, a tree native to the Greater Antilles, southern Mexico and Central America. The name "allspice" was coined by the English, who thought it combined the flavour of several aromatic spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. If you need a substitute for allspice combine equal parts of ground cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and black pepper. I would not substitute allspice for nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon unless you also need the peppery notes it will bring.

How do you make seven spices?

There are different variations of the spices, depending on the regional recipe you're using. The traditional Middle Eastern mix contains: black pepper, cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, cloves, corriander, and nutmeg. While the traditional Lebanese mix contains: allspice, black pepper, ginger cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and fenugreek. Regardless of the region you're making the spice mix for, it is made by combining equal amounts of each spice together. (For smaller quantities, you could use 1/4 teaspoon of each, or for larger quantities to keep the seasoning on-hand, you could use 1 cup of each.)


Why is cinnamon powder added in production of cookies?

To add flavor to the finished cookie. Cinnamon is part of a group of 'hot spices' that are often used in baking sweets. Others are cloves, nutmeg, and allspice. They could be substituted for the cinnamon, though you might want to reduce the amount used since they are very assertive flavors. All four of these spices are also used very effectively in seasoning non-dessert items like vegetables and meats along with more conventionally used spices like black, green, or white peppercorns, or star anise. Yes, peppercorns or star anise could, and are, used in making dessert type foods.

How can I tone down the taste in nutmeg in the food I am preparing?

That's difficult to say without knowing what dish the nutmeg is in. Having said that, and assuming for whatever reason you cannot simply reduce the amount of nutmeg in the recipe, I think your best bet would be to increase other spices to balance the nutmeg. For example, if you're making pumpkin pie, you could increase the amounts of cinnamon, ginger and cloves, which would produce a more balanced flavor with the nutmeg. If you're making a bread product, such as donuts or a coffee cake, you might add some cinnamon - dust the donuts with cinnamon sugar, or put a cinnamon crumb top on the coffee cake.

You will probably get very sick after getting high, it is a very miserable experience to get high off nutmeg. Also there is a chance you could die. Getting high off nutmeg is really dumb. The oil in the nutmeg that gets you high can kill you if you eat to much of it. Don't get high off nutmeg because you will regret it. You will get sick and could possibly die.
