William,
Soaking the spices with hot boiling water can remove the raw medicine taste and leave only the aroma. It is quite important especially when you are use lots of spices together in one recipe.

I'm curious is there a specific reason for this pre-soaking of the spices step?

3. Soak all the spices with around 1/2 cup of boiling hot water for around 10 minutes. Drain and wrap all of them in a clean glaze bag and seal with cotton lines.

I really like your site. I enjoy trying your recipes.
Fennel seeds, cumin and cinnamon are not available in stores here (Manila). Can i substitute with powdered versions? Or substitute with something else? Thank you.
