RECIPE
PUMP UP THE PUMPKIN … SPICE

Brace yourselves for pumpkin-flavored everything for the next few months. Want to jump on the bandwagon, but in a simple way that doesn’t involve artificial ingredients or unnatural flavors? Then whip up a batch of my Pumpkin Spice mixture.

In a medium-sized bowl, add 4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves and stir to incorporate. Use in baking, to season, or stir a spoonful in a latte. This stores great in an airtight container, and the recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
