So, grab your whisks and unleash your inner chocolaty alchemist, because here’s your roadmap to crafting a 16oz Canadian peppermint mocha magic:

Ingredients:

  1. Chocolate: Choose wisely – 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder or melt 1 square (1 oz) of your favorite dark chocolate.
  2. Espresso or strong coffee: Aim for 30-40ml of espresso or a concentrated brew of about 1/2 cup strong coffee.
  3. Milk: 1 cup of whole milk or your preferred milk alternative for a lighter touch.
  4. Peppermint: Infuse your mocha with the essence of the season using peppermint extract, crushed candy canes, or a sprig of fresh peppermint.
  5. Sweetener: Adjust to your preference – brown sugar, honey, or simple syrup.
  6. Whipped cream (optional): For that classic McDonald’s touch!
  7. Crushed candy canes (optional): For an extra festive sprinkle.

Instructions:

  1. Warm the milk: Heat the milk in a saucepan, adding your chosen peppermint infusion and letting it simmer to release the flavors.
  2. Prepare the chocolate: Whisk cocoa powder with a bit of warm milk or melt the chocolate in a separate pan.
  3. Combine and froth: Add espresso, chocolate mixture, and sweetener to the warm milk. Whisk or use a frother for creamy bubbles.
  4. Assemble and enjoy: Pour your homemade peppermint mocha into a mug, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle crushed candy canes if desired.

Tips:

  • Adjust peppermint intensity to taste.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a richer flavor.
  • Store leftover mocha in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
  • Experiment with different chocolate and milk alternatives for unique flavor combinations.
