Pumpkin Spice Recipe
Pumpkin pie spice is simply a mixture of our most beloved warming, sweet, and drying spices. It’s easy to put together yourself whether you use ready ground herbs or grind them yourself and it makes a wonderful, sustainable holiday gift! (Please get fair trade, ethically sourced, and sustainable spices.)
The usual combination for pumpkin pie spice is cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves and nutmeg. Some varieties may exclude either cloves or nutmeg, some add in star anise. It’s up to you.
The average recipe combines the spices in a ratio with cinnamon as the dominate spice. For example: to 1 tsp. of cinnamon, you would add 1/2 tsp. of ginger, 1/2 tsp. of allspice and 1/4 tsp. of nutmeg and cloves each.

Less sweet, syrupy, free of chemicals, easier on your pocketbook, and your —um —moral convictions.

1-2 T of honey or maple syrup
1-2 tsp of my spice mix.
1 T pumpkin puree (optional)
Mix thoroughly - I use an immersion blender. Taste and adjust your sweetener and spice. Store in the fridge and add to your coffee or tea as desired. Depending on the milk, it can keep for 10-14 days.
