Any grocer with a bulk aisle should have mustard seeds. I grind mine up in
a mill and add water, salt, vinegar, and turmeric, and maybe horseradish.
Total time from ingredients to finished product is about 3 minutes, though
one will have to add more liquid over the next few days to satisfy the
ground seeds as they quench their thirst, lest you be left with very dry
mustard.
