 Love pumpkin spice? Why not try making some of your own? It’s a blend of four or five spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and sometimes allspice. Example ratio for the four ingredient version is 8 parts cinnamon, 2 parts nutmeg, 2 parts ginger, and one part cloves. If you freshly grind all this shit, even better!

No pumpkin in pumpkin spice? Indeed! This is a critical ingredient to pumpkin pie (along with a sweet pumpkin, eggs, flour, brown sugar, salt, and evaporated milk). Or you can sprinkle some on a doobie (let me know if that works). 
 @3c289a60 have you ever dropped a dollup of pumpkin pie filling in milk before steaming it
