Barbecue Rub Recipe
Start preparing the barbecue rub by placing the brown sugar, salt, and black peppercorns into the coffee grinder or a mortar.
Add the mustard seeds, garlic powder, and onion powder to the rest of the ingredients.
Finish with the cinnamon and smoked paprika.
Grind everything until you obtain a fine powder.
If using a mortar, make sure to crush all the spices well without leaving any whole seeds.
