1
Brew Espresso
Start by brewing a cup of espresso using your preferred method, whether it's an espresso machine, stovetop, or aeropress. Set aside.
2
Heat and Froth Milk
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling. Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously to froth the milk until it’s light and airy.
3
Mix Chocolate and Peppermint
In a large mug, combine the brewed espresso, chocolate syrup, peppermint extract, and sugar. Stir well until the sugar and chocolate are fully dissolved.
4
Combine Ingredients
Slowly pour the frothed milk into the espresso mixture, gently stirring as you pour to combine all the flavors.
5
Add Whipped Cream
Top the mocha with a generous amount of whipped cream, allowing it to mound above the rim of the mug.
6
Garnish
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies and a dusting of cocoa powder over the whipped cream for an added festive touch.
7
Serve
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade peppermint mocha!
