Put a seasonal spin on your coffee drink with this peppermint mocha recipe! With just a few ingredients, you can make yourself a flavorful pick-me-up in the form of a peppermint-y warm drink to sip on for the cold winter months.
I don’t know about you, but our Christmas decorations are definitely still up and our Christmas music is absolutely playing in the background because December is just way too short! Besides, nobody ACTUALLY knows when Jesus was born. In fact, we should celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour every single day of the year(even if it’s not Christmas) and consistently take our thoughts up to the cross where Christ died and rose again(even if it’s not Easter)!
All that to say, we are definitely also still sipping on peppermint mochas, especially since Starbucks doesn’t have them on the menu anymore. ***note: we rarely even go there anyway because our coffees made at home taste much better and our wallets are happier that way too:) Be sure to check out our other coffee concoctions:
Ingredients

Instructions
- Make a shot of espresso into your favorite mug. If using the peppermint extract, add 1/2 tsp into the espresso.
