How to Make Pumpkin Pie Spice Recipe
The main and major ingredient for pumpkin pie spice is obviously cinnamon. It is sweet, spicy and warm, and embodies all of Fall’s flavor. The other spices necessary for the mix are ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Now that you have the ingredients, you just need to know how much of each to mix together.
Let’s breakdown the formula for this recipe using the smallest ingredient as the base, what you will need is:
- 1 part of nutmeg
- 2 parts of cloves
- 4 parts of ginger
