Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 ounces hot brewed strong coffee
  • 2 tablespoons hot chocolate mix
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • Optional: whipped cream, additional hot chocolate mix for dusting, candy cane

Instruction

  • Stir together the coffee and hot chocolate mix in a large mug.
  • Heat the milk on the stove to warm -- it should be around 100 degrees or just hot enough that you can only keep a finger in it comfortably for a couple of seconds. Remove from the stove and froth the milk using an aerator. Alternatively, whisk vigorously by hand until the milk foams, about 1 minute.
  • Pour the frothed milk into the coffee. If desired, garnish with whipped cream and a dusting of hot chocolate mix.
  • For a peppermint mocha, stir the coffee with a candy cane.
