What Is Pumpkin Spice and Where Has It Come From?
Pumpkin spice is a warming blend of spices, usually including cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. It gets its name from its traditional use in pumpkin pie and has become closely associated with autumn, particularly in the US, before making its way into everything from coffees and sweet treats to candles and even fragrances.
