Ingredients

Peppermint Mocha

  • 1 cup milk, anykind but whole works best
  • 1/4 cup strong coffee or espresso
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp peppermint extract, depending upon your minty preference--I used around 1/8

Toppings

  • Winter sprinkles
  • Mini Chocolate Chips
  • Chocolate Syrup

Whipped Cream

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/8 tsp peppermint extract

Instructions

Whipped Cream

  • With a mixer, whip heavy cream until it thickens into a whipped cream consistency, about 5-6 minutes. Add in powdered sugar and peppermint extract. Mix until combined.

Peppermint Mocha

  • In the microwave (or stove) heat milk and peppermint extract until hot and steaming (but not boiling), about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add in cocoa powder and sugar and whip with a whisk until the milk is foamy, about 30 seconds to a minute.
  • In a mug with a 1/4 c of espresso, pour in the frothed milk. Top with whipped cream, mini chips, winter sprinkles, and chocolate syrup.
  • Enjoy!
