• ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly oil a large baking sheet.

In a large bowl combine oats, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, tea, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, pepper, salt, and cloves. Stir in honey, oil, and vanilla to combine.
