Coffee Base

Mint Flavoring

Method

Prepare Coffee

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    Start by brewing 1 cup of your favorite coffee using a coffee maker or French press according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

  2. 2

    Mix Cocoa and Sugar

    In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.

Combine Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Coffee and Cocoa Mixture

    Once the coffee is brewed, pour it into a saucepan over medium heat. Add the cocoa and sugar mixture to the coffee, stirring continuously until fully dissolved.

  2. 4

    Add Milk

    Gradually add 1 cup of milk to the coffee mixture, continuing to stir until heated through, but do not bring to a boil.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Mint Flavoring

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract and add the fresh mint leaves, muddling them slightly to release their flavor.

Serve and Garnish

  1. 6

    Pour and Top

    Pour the Mint Mocha into a mug, leaving some space at the top for toppings. Generously top with whipped cream.

  2. 7

    Add Finishing Touches

    Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped cream and garnish with a fresh mint sprig for an added touch of elegance.
