I'm not from the US and I gotta ask, wtf is pumpkin spice? Dehydrated pumpkin powder or what?
It's the spices often used in pumpkin pie and other pumpkin dishes. According to the internet, it's a combination of "cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves".
Wait, so it doesn't include pumpkin itself?
Generally speaking, no
They should call it pumpkin pie spice latte.
Pumpkin cream pie spice latte.
That's what it was originally called. I assume the pie was dropped from the name because it sounds healthier that way.
Garam Masala latte
Sounds very much like traditional Christmas cookie spices from my part of the world.
