Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Copycat Recipe
Food.com
Notes
There are a few ways to get the peppermint syrup: buy a bottle directly from Starbucks, use 1 1/2 tablespoons crème de menthe, or make your own peppermint syrup using peppermint extract, water, and sugar.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons baking cocoa powder
3 tablespoons hot water
1 1/2 tablespoons peppermint syrup
4 ounces espresso
12 ounces milk
- Optional:
Whipped cream
Red sugar crystals
Directions
- Combine cocoa powder and water until a smooth, thick syrup forms. Put syrup in your favorite mug.
- Add espresso to the mug, making sure it mixes evenly with the mocha syrup.
- Pour peppermint syrup into the mug and mix evenly.
- Steam milk (using a steamer or a stovetop). Add milk and stir. If you want an iced peppermint mocha, simply skip heating the milk and pour cold milk directly into your mug and add ice.
- Add your whipped cream, sugar crystals, or a peppermint candy — whatever garnish you like. Enjoy!
