- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper

Steps
To make the ground bay leaves, add 8-10 whole bay leaves to a spice grinder or a coffee grinder and grind until you have a fine powder. Depending on the strength of your grinder, this can take a couple of minutes. Alternatively, you may use a mortar and pestle to crush the bay leaves into powder.
