Alton Brown'S Chili Powder

1. 1

   Toast the chiles and cumin seeds in a cast iron skillet for a few minutes. Don't let them cook too long and inhale the smoke, because you'll get a nasty chemical burn in lungs, nose and throat.

2. 2

   let the chiles and seeds cool.

3. 3

   place all the ingredients into a blender and blend on the highest speed you blender can dish out.

4. 4

   store in an airtight jar.

5. 5

   be sure to wash you blender carafe a few times after doing this or you fruit smoothy or margarita will taste like chiles.
