Fun fact number 6: Pumpkin Spice is THE pumpkin spice
via GIPHY
Ever since the “pumpkin spice latte” trend swept over to us from the USA a few years ago, everyone has known the spice (or at least the term).
It is a spice mix that consists mainly of cinnamon and is just perfect for sweet pumpkin dishes.
It is also the spice that gives the American pumpkin pie 🥧 its typical taste.
So what's in it?
First of all: there is no ONE spice mixture, the proportions and ingredients vary, depending on taste.
We like this variant:
Pumpkin Spice
3 tbsp cinnamon
2 tsp ginger
1 tsp nutmeg
0.5 tsp allspice
0.5 tsp cloves
Whether in cakes, desserts, hot drinks or as a DIY gift: Pumpkin Spice cuts a fine figure everywhere!
