Ingredients

4 teaspoons cinnamon
3 teaspoons ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon cloves
½ teaspoon allspice

Instructions

Place all the spice ingredients into a sealed jar. Shake everything together so it mixes well.

Notes

- Spicier: Increase the ginger to 4 parts instead of 3.

- Milder mix: Tone down the cloves by reducing them to half a part or even omitting them entirely.

- Sweet and subtle: Keep cinnamon dominant, increasing it to 5 parts.

- A secret ingredient: Add a pinch of black pepper for a little kick.

To make a bigger batch, swap the teaspoons for tablespoons or even use cups! As long as the ratio is the same, you will get a delicious blend.

How to store pumpkin spice mix: Spices can become bland over time, and you won't get the pop of flavor like you want when you bite into a pumpkin spice cookie or fall cake etc. Be sure to use fresh spices and store them in a sealed jar.

This pumpkin spice mix will last for up to 2 years if stored in a cool, dark place (like the cupboard). You will have to test and see how fresh they are each season.
