Peppermint Mocha Latte
Peppermint Mocha Latte. Making lattes are fun and convenient in the comfort of your own home. You don't even need a fancy cappuccino machine to make them either. Just use a blender to give the milk and hot cocoa powder that foamy, frothy texture everyone loves.
Ingredients
- 2 + 1/3 cups hot low-fat 2% or fat-free milk
- 6 Tbsp. Ghirardelli Premium Hot Cocoa powder (Double Chocolate flavor)
- 1/4 tsp. pure peppermint extract
- 1 to 2 shots (about 2 ounces each) of brewed espresso
- whipped cream
- 2 pinches of cocoa powder to garnish
Instructions
- Heat milk in a small saucepot on stove-top until it's hot. Pour hot milk into a blender. Add the cocoa powder, peppermint extract and 1 shot of espresso. Take a kitchen towel and place it on top of the cover and hold the lid down before you turn the blender on. Press the lowest speed first, then gradually press to the higher speed and blend for about 60 seconds, until the milk becomes frothy.
- Before you pour latte into your mugs, taste the latte. We like it with 1 shot of espresso (2 ounces of coffee), but if you prefer a strong mocha flavor, add the second shot of espresso into the blender and blend again for a few seconds more. Pour into 2 mugs.
- Garnish on top with whipped cream and one pinch of cocoa powder.
- Serves 2
