Usage Ideas
This strong, spicy, and aromatic spice mix is traditionally used to flavor delectable pumpkin pies. But you can use it to flavor up other dishes, too. I like to sprinkle it on the top of my fall drinks; it adds a deliciously spicy and cinnamony flavor to them. Pumpkin Pie Spice Martini, Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte, and Pumpkin Juice are some of my favorite drinks for which I use this mix. Use it to make my Pumpkin Spice Granola and Pumpkin Pie Spice Smoothie and enjoy it for breakfast. It elevates the taste of desserts like Pumpkin Fluff Dessert Dip. You can also sprinkle it on pancakes, waffles, fresh toast, or homemade bread for your weekend breakfast. You can also use this spice to make spiced nuts and snack on them whenever you are hungry.
Storage Suggestions
This spice mix will keep good for 6 months in an airtight container in a cool and dry place. To increase its shelf life even more (up to a year), refrigerate it.
