Equipment
- 1 Small Mixing Bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Spice Jar or Air Tight Container
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Ceylon cinnamon (24g)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger (2g)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg (2g)
- ½ teaspoon Ground CLoves (1g)
Instructions
- Prepare the spices: If using whole nutmeg or cloves, grind them into a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Freshly ground spices add a deeper aroma and flavor.
- Combine the blend: In a small mixing bowl, add the ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Whisk slowly to blend the spices evenly and release their natural oils.
- Check the balance: Smell the mixture and, if desired, adjust the flavors to your liking—more cinnamon for warmth, extra nutmeg for sweetness, or a touch more cloves for spice.
- Store the spice: Pour the finished blend into a clean, airtight spice jar or small container. Tap the jar gently to settle the powder and seal tightly. Label with the name and date.
- Use the mix: Stir this pumpkin pie spice into pancake batter, sprinkle it over lattes, mix into whipped cream, or fold into baked goods for a cozy autumn flavor.

Notes
Storage tip: Keep sealed in a cool, dark cupboard for up to 6 months. Shake lightly before each use to refresh the blend.
Customization: Add ½ teaspoon of ground allspice or cardamom for a more complex, aromatic twist.
Serving suggestion: Use 1–2 teaspoons per recipe of pumpkin puree, or try a pinch in your morning oatmeal or coffee for an instant taste of fall.
