budget friendly

Back when I bought coffee out at one of those expensive coffee stores every day, the peppermint mocha was my drink of choice.

I ordered them year-round, drank them a couple times a day. I drank them iced (usually), though sometimes hot.

Great brewed coffee starts it all

It’s funny too, when I went to the coffee store for my coffee fix, I was called a coffee snob more than once.

Which, at the time, couldn’t have been further from the truth.

I didn’t really care what the coffee itself tasted like. I would drink just about any coffee. Now, of course, I’m much more of a coffee snob.

I really like the coffee I brew at home so much better. Check out my post, How to Brew The Perfect Cup of Coffee for my tips and tricks!

But now that I brew my own coffee at home, I’m actually very picky about my coffee.

I like my coffee strong but not bitter. I like my coffee full flavored and smooth.

And, I’d be ok with it now if someone called me a coffee snob.

daily coffee habit

So, being that I don’t want to go out to get coffee I had to figure out the best way to make a peppermint mocha at home.

Not that I drink them every day anymore.

My daily coffee of choice is black coffee now.

But, every so often I really like the festive fun of having a peppermint mocha.

This is the easiest and best way to make a peppermint mocha that I’ve found.

Peppermint syrup

Once you have your yummy brewed coffee, you are most of the way to the peppermint mocha.

Pick up a bottle of peppermint syrup, you can get it here from my Amazon affiliate link Peppermint Syrup.

Tip for making peppermint mochas at home

And, the biggest tip I can give you for making this is that you want to make the peppermint mocha paste first by mixing the cocoa powder and the syrup together before you add any of the other liquid.

Cocoa powder is really hard to mix into liquids; it just tends to lump on the top.

So, by mixing them together first you get a smooth peppermint mocha.
