Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups whole milk
- 1 cup strong coffee
- 2 ounces chocolate semi-sweet
- 1 tablespoon peppermint syrup
Garnishes
- whipped cream
- crushed peppermint candy canes
- chocolate shavings
- chocolate sauce
Instructions
- In a small saucepan combine whole milk, coffee, chocolate, and sea salt and melt on medium heat until small bubbles start to form.
- Bring the heat right down and let it stand for about 2 minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add in peppermint syrup, whisk again.
- Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup or crushed candy canes!
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.
