Powders: (ground spices and spice mixtures)
There is no definitive make up for any of these "powders" but rather they are simply a description of the type of spice that is being suggested for the recipe. For example, "cinnamon and sugar" mixed would be a sweet spice as is "licorice", while "cinnamon" could be a strong spice as is "galangal, grains of paradise and pepper". I would think that is there was to be cinnamon in a white spice mixture, that there would be very little where the amounts of ginger and cinnamon, or even mace or nutmeg, could be more.

-Good Powder or Powder: This could be any mixture of spices, likely whichever you think is good and to taste. Sometimes it is just assumed that the cook knows which is best for the recipe. In the ingredient list I used "Good Powder" to denote both "good powder" and simply "powder" as they mean the same thing.

-Powder Douce: sweet, mild, spice/combination
