Every year my teen awaits the arrival of the peppermint flavored coffee drinks at the coffee shops. She LOVE the HoHo Mocha drink from Caribou Coffee!
Ingredients:
1 cup strong coffee
1/2 cup steamed milk
1 tablespoon peppermint syrup
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
whipped cream
candy canes
Don’t have a milk steamer? Neither do I but you can make your own frothy milk on the stovetop. Just put 1/2 cup of milk in a small pan over medium heat. Whisk until heated and foaming. It only takes a couple of minutes.
Put the coffee and syrups into a large mug and stir. Add the steamed milk.
Top with whipped cream. Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top. Yum!!

Looks fantastic! Maybe I may try a variation with the Salted Caramel syrup and a twix bar instead of the candy cane!!
