PUMPKIN SPICE ROUNDUP

How did a squash become a meme? Why is pumpkin so polarizing? It’s just a gourd, just an ordinary gourd, trying to get by. (If you caught that 2009 Vanessa Carlton reference, you are probably holding a PSL right now.) Here at Red Stick Spice, when the calendar strikes September, we lean in. Way in. While Louisiana’s heat index may be pushing 100, when you stroll through the doors (where it’s 72°F btw,) it’s all pumpkins. All the time.

Here’s a roundup of all the things pumpkin at Red Stick Spice:

Pumpkin Spice Latte

TEAS – WHAT TO SIP

Pumpkin Spice Tea
Black tea and its little bump of caffeine blended with classic, warm pumpkin spices. Oh, and PUMPKIN! We blend dehydrated pumpkin into this popular tea blend. It adds a quiet note of umami and depth.
Pumpkin Spice Herbal
We use those same warm pumpkin spices including lots of cardamom, cinnamon and a smattering of clove. Add in actual pumpkin. And layer it all on a naturally sweet Rooibos base. The result is a caffeine-free fall favorite.

RECIPES – WHAT TO COOK

Pumpkin Granola Bars
Part blondie, part crumble, all scrumptious. These bars are brunch worthy, perfectly snackable and Thanksgiving morning saviors. You know when there’s so much food in the house, prepped for the big meal, but there’s nothing to eat? These bars. This is what you eat.
Pumpkin Pancakes with Maple Butter
Fluffy. That’s the key word here. While canned pumpkin adds weight, we counter it with whipped egg whites to give these flapjacks lift. These were a staff favorite on recipe test day. That maple butter? Oh my.
Pumpkin Soup with Spicy Pepitas
Savory and rich and a little spicy! Our Chipotle Extra Virgin Olive Oil takes roasted pumpkin to new places. We also bring in Belle Ville Blend – a throwback blend that gets quite the glow up in this delicious soup.

There’s so much more! For all the fall goodness, head to Recipes, click the search bar in the top right, type Pumpkin. Ahhhh.
