Ingredients

    Peppermint Syrup (makes 1-1.5 cups)
    3/4 cup water
    3/4 cup sugar or stevia
    4 teaspoons peppermint extract

    4 ounces espresso
    8 ounces milk
    1 tablespoon Ghiradelli sweet ground cocoa
    2 teaspoons peppermint syrup


Directions

1. Bring water and sugar to boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat. Add peppermint extract and simmer for 20 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, brew 4-8 oz of espresso roast or strong coffee in an Aeropress or Bialetti Moka for best results. A standard coffee maker will work fine also.

3. Pour milk in a canning jar. Screw lid on tightly. Shake milk for 60 seconds. Remove lid and heat in microwave to 160-170 degrees, just before boiling.

4. In your coffee mug, mix 1 tablespoon of cocoa with 2 teaspoons of peppermint syrup. Add espresso and stir. Then add steamed milk and foam.
