]]> While we’re sad to see summer come to an end, do you know what that means? Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) season is coming! PSL season came a bit early this year—Starbucks made the drink available on August 24. The drink has been around since 2003, but the history of pumpkin spice has been around much longer.

Pumpkin spice is a blend of spices that were once used to add flavor to pumpkin pie. The spices used vary, but typically it consists of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves.

Recipes for pumpkin pie date back to 1978. Amelia Simmons had two recipes for spice-filled “pompkin” pie in the reprint of her cookbook American Cookery. One of them had nutmeg and ginger and the other had allspice and ginger. Pumpkin spice was officially introduced in the 1930s by Thompson & Taylor Spice Co and McCormick & Company who came out with Pumpkin Pie Spice.

The PSL was invented by a Starbucks employee named Peter Dukes who was the director of espresso and whose team was responsible for creating the seasonal drinks. Starbucks first used cinnamon and nutmeg in the drink and in 2015, they began using real pumpkins. The drink has become the most popular seasonal drink!

Now it’s not just pumpkin pies and lattes that have gotten the pumpkin spice treatment—there are tons of pumpkin spice products. There’s everything from pumpkin spice Pop Tarts and donuts to pumpkin spice pasta and hummus.

What do you think of pumpkin spice? Are you a fan?
