Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Method
 

  1. Add all ingredients to a small bowl.
  2. Whisk thoroughly until evenly combined.
  3. Transfer to an airtight spice jar.
  4. Store in a cool, dry pantry.
  5. Shake or stir before using if needed.

Notes

Start with about 2 to 2½ teaspoons for a standard 9-inch pumpkin pie.
Use about ¼ teaspoon per pumpkin spice latte.
Cloves give this blend extra warmth and depth, but you can reduce them slightly if you prefer a milder flavor.
This blend is also excellent in oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, French toast, whipped cream, apple desserts, and roasted sweet potatoes.
