Sriracha Salt / Easy, Tasty (& Pretty) DIY

I love fancy salts, and Kendrick loves Sriracha…so I thought I’d put the two together as a mini-present for him.

I recently picked up The Sriracha Cookbook, which contains instructions for making Sriracha Salt: all you do is stir together half a cup of salt and 5 tsp Sriracha, spread the mixture a thin layer on a baking sheet covered with wax paper, and let it sit for 1-2 days, stirring once or twice.

I found that the salt got quite stuck-together, so as a final step I rolled it up in a clean tea towel and bashed it with a rolling pin a few times.

Flavored salts, by the way, make excellent DIY gifts or wedding favors. Citrus salts are particularly easy (and pretty) to make: just finely grate some peel off of your desired fruit, let dry, and combine with an equal amount of salt.
