While some might think Starbucks is to thank for the beloved spice combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, the origins of a favorite fall beverage are much older than that.
In the early 1970s, I had two music albums. One of them was Chicago’s debut album, which included a catchy song titled “Does anyone really know what time it is?” In those days there were mostly mechanical clocks and watches (and no cell phones), so there wasn’t the precision of knowing the time as accurately as today. Often, even among family and friends, there could be a discrepancy of five minutes or so.
