http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Mustard-from-Scratch

Purchase some mustard seed, or ground mustard powder. Most people prefer whole seeds, which come in 'white' (yellow), brown and black varieties. Check out Indian groceries for good prices.
Grind the mustard seed if it is not already ground. You can use a mortar & pestle if you have one, or a cleaned-out coffee grinder, or even a blender. The sound of the grinding will change when the mustard reaches an evenly ground consistency. [Clean the grinding device thoroughly when you are done.]
Pour the mustard into a dish and mix with liquid until it is about the consistency of ketchup. For a quick, hot mustard that you will use right away, use water; otherwise use wine/beer/mead, vinegar, or grape juice. Feel free to combine liquids.
Add any desired sweeteners, such as honey, sugar (or artificial sweeteners), ground dates or raisins, etc., to taste.
Add ground spices. To make it sweeter, try anise or cinnamon; to make it hotter, try ginger, cloves, or one of the black peppers. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Mix together, cover, and leave on the counter until the hotness has faded to your desired strength. Heat & bitterness will reach a peak in 5-15 minutes; water-based mustards should be served then. For other kinds of mustards, wait between 2 hours and a day for flavors to blend.
Adjust consistency as necessary with juice, vinegar, or other liquids; mustard will thicken over time.

Answer 3

If you mean the paste you get in jars.

Mustard is a thick yellow or yellow-brown paste with a sharp taste that is prepared from the ground seeds of mustard plants (white or yellow mustard, Sinapis hirta; brown or Indian mustard, Brassica juncea; or black mustard, Brassica nigra), by mixing them with water, vinegar or other liquids, and adding ingredients such as flour. A strong mustard can cause the eyes to water, burn the palate and inflame the nasal passages. For this reason, mustard can be an acquired taste for some.

Answer 4

Prepared mustards are made from powdered mustard seeds combined with a variety of ingredients including vinegar, water, wine, beer and sugar, as well as other spices.

There are three types of mustard seeds: white, brown and black. The flavor of white mustard seeds is bitter, while brown and black mustard seeds are piquant and spicier. The yellow mustard found in America is made with white mustard seeds. The yellow color actually comes from the spice turmeric.

Most European and Asian mustards are made with brown mustard seeds and can range from the mellow Dijon style mustards of the French to the hot spicy Chinese mustards. These are blended into textures from smooth to coarse. The recipes on this Web site are specific as to the type of mustard used.
