Melissa's Notes
This blend is cinnamon-forward, warm and balanced without being overwhelmed by cloves.
For a slightly spicier blend, increase the ginger to 2 teaspoons.
For a stronger clove flavour, increase the cloves to ½ teaspoon.
Double or triple the ingredients to prepare a larger batch for fall baking.
Shake or stir the mixture before each use, as the finer spices can settle in the jar.
