As soon as the days get shorter again, the foliage turns wonderfully autumnal and it gets colder outside, I prepare my first batch of gingerbread spice at home. It is great for sprinkling on your freshly brewed coffee, whipping up delicious cream or using it in my apple pie and of course in mine homemade gingerbread!

My special tip for dingy autumn days: I love to sprinkle the gingerbread spice on my freshly prepared cappuccino, then I sweet it a little with our delicious PureBee honey After, on a cold winter's day, with a good book, that's just wonderfully relaxing

Those of you who live outside of Germany or Western Europe will know that it is almost impossible to find traditional German gingerbread spice in supermarkets. In Germany, however, you will find it from September in every well-stocked supermarket.

However, if you prefer the better home-made variant, this recipe for homemade gingerbread spice is just right for you!

I can imagine that some of you now think: I do not want to buy all these spices just to make a gingerbread spice, and the rest will end up in the bin sooner or later!

But do not worry, most of these spices have many different uses. Especially in Indian cuisine, many of these spices are used very often. Just look at the individual spices and you will find many recipe ideas and be inspired.

The most beautiful variant, in my opinion, so that no spices are wasted, is simply to make a large amount of delicious gingerbread spice and to give away to friends and family.
