]]>
  • Steam fresh milk for your mocha to 150 degrees and set aside (you will need it soon).
  • Place 2 tablespoons of bittersweet chocolate sauce and 1.5 tablespoons of frosted mint syrup in your favorite holiday coffee mug.
  • Add 2 fresh shots of espresso to your mug. (Peppermint Mocha Trio flavored coffee can be ground into an espresso consistency and brewed using an automatic or stovetop espresso maker)
  • Stir the ingredients together. Once the sauce is completely mixed with the espresso add your creamy steamed milk.
  • Leave enough room (about a ½ inch) at the top of the drink. Add your whipped cream in a swirl on top of the drink. Drizzle the whipped cream with your bittersweet chocolate sauce and sprinkle some crushed peppermint on top.
  • Optional: Prepare a minty hot cocoa using the same ingredients minus the espresso or brew the Peppermint Mocha Trio flavored coffee in your regular coffee maker for a delicious flavored coffee.
