Tips:

Use a variety of mustard seeds. This will give your mustard a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of yellow, brown, and black mustard seeds.
Toast the mustard seeds before grinding them. This will help to bring out their flavor. You can toast the seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or you can roast them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
Use a good quality vinegar. The vinegar you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your mustard. Choose a vinegar that you enjoy the taste of.
Let the mustard steep for at least 24 hours before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
Store the mustard in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve its flavor.
