Calling all pumpkin spice latte lovers! This fall, elevate your favorite drink with a spicy twist. Our Spicy Pumpkin Spice Latte combines the classic flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg with a touch of heat from cayenne pepper. This unique blend creates a rich and flavorful latte that is sure to warm you up on a chilly day.
In this article, we will provide two variations of the Spicy Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe: a traditional stovetop method and a convenient Instant Pot method. The stovetop method allows you to control the cooking process and customize the level of spiciness. The Instant Pot method, on the other hand, offers a quick and easy way to make a delicious latte without any hassle.
Both recipes start with a base of brewed coffee, milk, and pumpkin puree. The spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cayenne pepper, are then added to create the signature pumpkin spice flavor. For the stovetop method, the mixture is simmered until fragrant, while the Instant Pot method requires just a few minutes of pressure cooking.
Once the latte base is ready, it's time to add the finishing touches. The traditional recipe calls for steamed milk, while the Instant Pot recipe uses frothed milk. A sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and a dollop of whipped cream complete this decadent beverage.
Whether you choose the stovetop or Instant Pot method, our Spicy Pumpkin Spice Latte is sure to be a hit with your taste buds. So, gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and let's create a latte that's as cozy as a warm blanket on a crisp autumn day.

PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE
My take on our corner coffee shop's seasonal pumpkin latte. I loved it so much I HAD to do something! You can use canned 'pumpkin pie mix' if you like, since it contains the pumpkin pie spice ingredients already. Top with nutmeg or cinnamon if you like. Enjoy!

SPICY PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE
I don't normally drink pumpkin spice lattes, but when I do, I make my own and don't drop 5 dollars at the corner coffee stand. And this version, with a spicy kick, actually has pumpkin in it! Cooking the pumpkin and the spices in the saucepan eliminates any raw squash flavor and makes the spices toastier. And the black pepper gives this latte a nice kick.

Tips:
