Always store in an airtight jar to ensure the flavor of the spices is sealed in well.
Ideally, these spices have a long shelf life. And yet, it's best to make a note on the jar so you know when it's time to make a new batch.
Read the expiry date on the powders you used - choose the one with the earliest date as a guide.
