Peppermint Mocha is a classic holiday drink that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and coffee with a refreshing hint of peppermint. It's the perfect way to warm up on a chilly winter day or to enjoy as a festive treat during the holiday season. In this recipe, we'll show you how to make the perfect Peppermint Mocha at home.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of brewed coffee
- 1 cup of milk (whole milk or any non-dairy milk will work)
- 1/4 cup of chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Crushed candy canes (optional)
Start by brewing a cup of strong coffee. You can use any type of coffee, but we recommend using a dark roast for a more robust flavor. While the coffee is still hot, add the chocolate chips and stir until they are fully melted.
Next, add the milk and peppermint extract to the coffee mixture and stir well. You can adjust the amount of peppermint extract to your liking, depending on how strong you want the peppermint flavor to be.
If desired, top your Peppermint Mocha with whipped cream and crushed candy canes for an extra festive touch. Serve hot and enjoy!
