Poll of the Day > Finally got around to eating a pumpkin spice... thing

(+) Yeah! (+)

First off; I like pumpkin. I make a lot of pumpkin stuff and I daresay my pumpkin cookies are the best in the world.

Pumpkin confections are spiced with an equal mix of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. This is colloquially known as "allspice" even though allspice is actually it's own thing.

Now, I had a pumpkin spice yoghurt... I could taste a minor amount of cinnamon and nutmeg, but there was no zing to it.

...it was basically just... whatever.

it should not be equal part of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. cloves would overpower everything else. you're missing the ginger. It's more like 8 parts cinnamon, 2 parts nutmeg, 2 parts ginger, 1 part cloves, 1 part allspice.

fyi allspice is its own seasoning that contains no cinnamon, cloves, or nutmeg. if for whatever reason you don't have allspice you can sub in equal cinnamon/cloves/nutmeg but it's not the same flavor or same thing.

Try a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte and let me know what you think.
Yes, I know I'm a basic bitch, but I think it's really good.

And that's why my cookies are better
