You Need To Be Giving Your Morning Cup Of Coffee A Spicy Kick
By Carolina Grassmann
If you're the type of person who's not really awake until you've had your coffee, it might be a good idea to try this fiery new trend by adding spices to your coffee.
The hashtag #spicycoffee has over 2 million views on TikTok, and one video creator even generated 40,000 views for adding spicy honey to their coffee.
An article published by Salisbury University stated that your body releases endorphins and dopamine when you consume spicy foods or drinks. So, spicy coffee can boost your mood.
Adding spicy honey to your coffee not only acts as a sweetener that makes your coffee delicious, but it also adds a spicy flavor that will keep you awake and energized.
You can also grind whole pieces of cayenne pepper with your coffee beans, enhancing the spiciness and boosting the aroma.
If you don't want to use whole pieces of cayenne pepper, it's also possible to add preground spices such as cayenne and black pepper to the coffee beans and grind it all together.
You can also infuse your coffee with preground spices. This allows you to be as creative as you want, adding spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and chile peppers using a French press.
Another way to make your coffee spicy is by adding hot sauce brands like Sriracha or Tabasco sauce to your coffee, resulting in a delicious must-try drink.
