1/4cupStrong Coffee or Espressoor 1 1/2 Tbsp instant coffee
2drops Peppermint Flavor
Instructions
First, brew the coffee or espresso. If you’re using coffee, you’ll want to make sure that it is strong brewed.
Then take a small saucepan and place it over medium heat. Add your desired type of milk into the saucepan and heat it until it begins to steam, whisking continually.
Into the hot milk, whisk in cocoa powder, and sugar. Whisk until both are dissolved in the milk mixture.
Then add in your peppermint extract, and espresso or strong brewed coffee. Stir to combine.
After your peppermint coffee has been warmed through in combined, you are ready to serve it. Pour into your serving glass and top with froth milk if desired, whipped cream, candy cane pieces, and chocolate curls. Then serve right away and enjoy your delicious taste of the holiday season.
Notes
Note: if you choose to use peppermint candy in place of peppermint extract, make sure that the candy is completely dissolved in the peppermint coffee before serving it.
