Coffee lovers unite...couldn't help myself. If you are like me, some good coffee can go a long way to making life bareable! I get tired of spending my lifes savings on a cup of starbucks...so i figured out how to make some at home. If you like the mix of peppermint, coffee, & mocha...you are in luck!
You can pick up the peppermint syrup at the grocery store, or at starbucks...they sell those big ole bottles. You can also pick up a canister of their "mocha powder"...its worth it.
if you have an espresso machine that can foam your milk, you are all set...do your double shot espresso, stir in 1 heaping T mocha powder till dissolved, then add 1 T peppermint syrup...steam your milk, put it all together & you're done!
if you don't have an espresso machine...
brew your choice of coffee...put about an ounce in the cup, add in a heaping tablespoon of mocha powder, stir well to make a lovely mocha syrup. add in 1 T peppermint syrup. In a small saucepan, add in 1 cup milk of choice, heat stirring w/small whisk till hot & foamy, pour into cup...finish off w/remainder of coffee.
you can adjust the peppermint if you need more or less to your taste.
yes, it really is that simple. saves spending 5.00 on one cup too! Lovely way to start or end a day.
