Make Pumpkin Spice Yourself – That’s How it Works

You don’t have to buy Pumpkin Spice in the supermarket. You can also easily make the spice yourself. We’ll show you what you need and how it works.

Make Pumpkin Spice yourself: You need these ingredients

If the spice mixture is not available in your nearby supermarket or if you do not want to buy a ready-made spice, you can easily make it yourself. For this you need the following ingredients:

• A teaspoon of ground cloves or allspice. Since cloves quickly leave a bitter taste, you should stick to the exact quantities here.
• A pinch of ground nutmeg. You should also not use more than the specified amount of nutmeg, as it is poisonous in larger quantities.
• 4 teaspoons cinnamon powder
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger or ginger powder

How to prepare the spice mix

The preparation of the spice is very simple.

• Mix together the clove powder (or allspice), nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger powder.
• Mix it all together until you get a smooth powder.
• Pour the resulting spice into a screw-top jar.
• The seasoning mix will keep for about six months on a spice rack when stored dry.
