Ingredients
Peppermint mocha
- 1 cup brewed strong coffee
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp mint extract
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- Whipped Cream
- shaved chocolate
- crushed peppermint
Instructions
Prepare
- Brew strong coffee and set aside.
- Grate or finely chop some of a chocolate bar (milk, semi-sweet, or dark), and set aside. Crush peppermint candies and set aside.
Steam milk and make mocha
- Add whole milk, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder to a saucepan. Heat over MED LOW heat, whisking very frequently.
- When the edges of the milk mixture begins to foam, add the brewed coffee, mint extract, and vanilla extract.
- Continue whisking and cooking, and once the edges are frothy and steaming, remove from the heat.
Assemble
- Divide the peppermint mocha equally among two mugs. Top with whipped cream, the shaved chocolate and crushed peppermints.
Notes
- This recipe makes approximately 16 oz, which I've estimated will make 2 (8 oz each) drinks. But feel free to divide this recipe into as many, or as little, servings as you'd like.
- In place of mint extract, add some peppermint candies to the milk mixture in the saucepan. Let it dissolve during the steaming process.
