Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoon ground ginger, 2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1 teaspoon ground cloves(plus optional 1 teaspoon orange peel, ½ teaspoon mace, or ½ teaspoon ground cardamom) and whisk until well combined.
Place the pumpkin pie spice in a spice jar or an airtight container until ready to use. Your spice blend can last for up to 2-3 years when stored properly in a container with a tight-fitting lid. It is also best to store spices in a cabinet. *Note that spices will lose flavor over time and that the 2-3 year timeline for storing your spices can be affected by how old the spices were before being combined to make this homemade pumpkin pie spice mix.
Notes
You can tailor the flavor to your liking by adding more cloves, ginger, or mace. Or add more of the orange peel to enhance a citrus flavor instead.
To tone down or soften the spiced flavor, use more cinnamon. Adding another tablespoon of your ground cinnamon will make the other spices seem more subtle.
