It’s actually a mix of flavorful spices.

How to Use Your Homemade Spice

What do you plan to use your pumpkin spice in?

Baking? Or perhaps a pumpkin spice latte like the one below?

For me, fall is in the air, which means Starbucks is rolling out their seasonal drinks, including the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

They’re easy enough to make them at home!

Or get ready for a slow cooker cake that is going to knock your socks off — with pumpkin and warm caramel sauce.
