Notes
- Remove the coffee mixture from the heat as soon as bubbles begin to form so you don't curdle the milk.
- Be sure to let your mixture rest for a full 2 minutes and stir occasionally to ensure all the flavors meld well.
- Make this peppermint mocha just before you're ready to serve so it's nice and piping hot.
