    I mean, it’s basically just cinnamon, cardamom, and clove. Yeah, it’s great. One of those “ruined by its fans” things

        Sorta. I mean everyone expects there to be actual pumpkin, but that’d be gross. It’s just all the stuff you add to the pumpkin in a pie to make it delicious

        The magic word here is “mulling spices”. It’s the same blend used for pumpkin pie, apple cider, and a lot of different mulled wines.

        You can buy premade mulling spice mixes to give it a try, but I highly recommend finding a recipe online and tinkering with it on your own. Once you’ve got your mix dialed in you can whip up amazing apple cider all fall and winter.

        Caribou offers similar drinks with actual pumpkin puree if that interests you and you’re in the midwest. Hot Pumpkin Chai is pretty great on a cold day
