What are the key spices in a Pumpkin Spice Latte, and can they be substituted?

We all know the "spice" in Pumpkin Spice Latte, but what exactly are those spices? I’m curious if you can swap them out for something else and still get a similar taste. Maybe a little experimenting for a new twist on the classic PSL?

Great question! The classic "spice" in a Pumpkin Spice Latte usually includes cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves, sometimes with a hint of allspice. If you're feeling adventurous, you could definitely experiment with other spices like cardamom or even a touch of star anise for a unique twist.
