Speculaas cookie spices

Speculaas spice mix, which I use whenever sweet spices are called for.

3 parts by weight cinnamon, ground
1 part by weight blade mace, ground
1 part by weight cloves, ground
1 part by weight ginger, ground
1 part by weight coriander seeds, ground
1 part by weight black pepper, ground

The above list is the original mixture.  I also include nutmeg, allspice, grains of paradise, and cardamom (1 part by weight each).  Go wild.
