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

      I don’t think it was ruined by fans. More like ruined by advertising.

        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.

        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

        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
