Ingredients
Tip: For the richest, most aromatic flavor, use freshly ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves if you can — the difference is incredible. Even just grating whole nutmeg or crushing cloves fresh will make this blend smell like true autumn in your kitchen.
Recipe Tips
Use fresh spices: They bring brighter aroma and warmth than pre-ground versions.
Whisk thoroughly: Mix until every grain of spice looks even and fine — this keeps flavors balanced in every spoonful.
Store properly: Keep your blend in a small airtight jar in a cool, dark cupboard for up to 6 months of freshness.
Label your jar: Add the date and name — it makes your spice cabinet feel charmingly organized.
Make it your own: Love more ginger or nutmeg? Adjust the ratios to fit your favorite fall flavor profile.
Instructions
- Grind the spices: Start by grinding whole cloves and nutmeg until finely ground and aromatic.
- Combine the blend: In a small bowl, mix the freshly ground cloves and nutmeg with the cinnamon and ginger. Whisk until evenly blended and beautifully fragrant.
- Store your seasoning: Transfer the spice mix to a clean glass jar or small airtight container. Label it and store in a cool, dark place to keep the flavors fresh.
- Use in your recipes: Add to pumpkin breads, quick breads, muffins, oatmeal, or your morning coffee for that perfect touch of fall warmth.
Note: A moment spent whisking these spices together fills the air with that unmistakable scent of fall — a quiet reminder that simple, homemade touches often bring the most comfort.
