The TikTok content creator, @yourlocalplanteater, recommends using just four spices to create the perfect pumpkin spice blend that can be enjoyed throughout the season.
As autumn arrives, the pumpkin spice craze is in full swing, with social media flooded with posts praising the flavour. @yourlocalplanteater highlighted a pumpkin spice mix priced at $18.90 (£14) on Amazon, prompting her to showcase how to make a comparable blend at a fraction of the cost.
