If you’re looking for something a little more than coffee that isn’t too hard, here it is!
So, I thought of this idea when I was in my room one morning drinking hot cocoa that my little
brother made for me, and of course it was snowing. We have these candy cane lights outside my
house and it made me think, why not add peppermint to this?! It would be so much more
wintery! So here’s my very own recipe!
Prep time: 2 minutes
Time: 12 minutes
Serving(s): 1
Ingredients:
Mocha:
● 3⁄4 cup whole or 2% milk
● 31⁄2 tablespoons of sugar
● 3-5 squares of a Hershey
chocolate Bar OR 1⁄8 cup of
chocolate chips
● 1⁄2-1 cup of coffee
● 1⁄8 teaspoon of peppermint
extract
● 1⁄2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Toppings (optional):
● Whipped cream (homemade
recipe)-The whipped cream will
make the drink more sugary.
● Chopped chocolate chips/bars
● Chopped peppermint candy cane
Instructions:
1. Make the mocha:
○ Heat the milk in the
microwave for 1:00 minute.
Add the chocolate to the
jar. Put the lid on and
shake until foamy (I used a
mason jar). Add the sugar.
2. Make the coffee how you like it, &
stir the coffee, mint extract, and
vanilla extract in and remove
from heat. Add coffee to a mug
and then add the chocolatey
mixture to the mug.
3. Serve hot or cold.
4. Optional! Top with whipped
cream and sprinkle the cocoa and
candy cane shavings on top.
5. Enjoy! - If you can’t drink coffee,
you can just add peppermint
extract to your hot cocoa.
