Peppermint Mocha: A Magical Coffee Indeed!

Coffee and peppermint alone have a very strong flavor. The combination of these ingredients means that they combine the flavors and further spice up the mocha.

Here’s how to make this perfect beverage.

• 2 tablespoons of matcha powder
• ⅓ cup coffee beans
• 3-4 tablespoons of cane sugar
• 1 cup dairy-free milk
• 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
• 2-3 drops of mint extract
• Whipped cream for foaming the mug

Method

• Start with boiling a bowl of water. 
• Grind the coffee beans in a grinder. 
• In a small bowl, mix matcha powder, cocoa powder, cane sugar ( you can use any sweetener ), and boiled water. Use a whisker and whisk until the powder turns into a fine paste or syrup. Add 2-3 drops of mint extract.
• In a small saucepan, heat one cup of milk and add a pinch of sugar to it.
• Combine the coffee powder and 2 cups of boiling water in any coffee maker or french press and let it steep for 5-6 minutes. 
• Pour the syrup mixture into the bottom of each mug and fill the mug halfway with hot coffee. 
• Fill the coffee mug with warm milk and top with whipped cream.

How about an instant method?

To try this mocha recipe in a few minutes, use instant coffee powder instead of coffee beans. You can easily make it by mixing together boiling water, hot chocolate mixture, cocoa powder, mint extract, sugar and a packet of instant coffee powder or expresso.

No need to go to Starbucks now, make this peppermint matcha at home.
