Pumpkin spice Bio

Introducing the first organic pumpkin spice blend! Many of you have been asking for it, so here it is; get out your Halloween masks and pumpkins the moment is near 😉

What is pumpkin spice?

It's definitely an American blend, no doubt about it, naming a spice blend "pumpkin spice" where there isn't any! not even an ounce 😉 So yes, the phenomenon arrived in France a few years ago, and it looks like the contagion is catching on, with "pumpkin spice" signs popping up at the entrances to coffee shops. Starbuck's, which was one of the first to make a latte with this spice blend, generates $100 million in revenue! From lattes and cakes to butter, hummus and pumpkin spice-based pasta sauces, it's all about generating business... ahh America.

Pour faire rapide et aller à l’essentiel, le pumpkin spice masala est composé d’une bonne part de cannelle (beaucoup utilise la casse, moins onéreuse mais bien moins bonne) du gingembre, de la noix de muscade (nous y ajoutons du macis), un peu de girofle et j’ai lu il y a peu de temps une énormité… du 4 épices ! je laisse les amateurs d’épices constater l’énormité…

Why pumpkin spice?

Simply because it's originally a pie, a pumpkin cake flavored with spices.

Preparing the pumpkin spice latte

500 g pumpkin or salsify
3 tsp organic pumpkin spice mix
1 /2 organic vanilla stick or extract
4 tbsp. maple syrup
80 g whole cane sugar
100 ml water
1 to 2 espressos
120 ml milk

Coupez le potiron en petits morceaux et les étaler sur une plaque en les recouvrant du mélange d’épices, de la vanille du sirop d’érable et du sucre. Bien envelopper le mélange autour des morceaux.

Place a sheet of aluminum foil over the mixture and bake at 180°C for 45 minutes.

Once cooled, place in a blender, add the water and blend until the desired velouté is obtained.

Pour one or two espressos into a tall glass or mug, and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of pumpkin velouté.

Froth the milk and pour into the mug. Enjoy your first pumpkin spice latte.
