Why you’ll love this recipe:

Every holiday season, if you look forward to all of the peppermint drinks at the coffee shop but aren’t a fan of the amount of money you spend each time you get one… then this may just be your new best friend! (I fell in love with a Dirty Chai latte at our local coffee shop, so it was a must to make it at home.)

This peppermint latte can be made to suit your favorite flavors and uses simple ingredients to help you get that holiday feeling, in your own home! (Serve it with this No-Bake Candy Cane Pie recipe, for the ultimate peppermint experience!)

Ingredients

• 3/4cupblack coffee
• 1teaspoonpeppermint extract
• 2Tablespoonsvanilla creamer
• whipped cream, optional
• crushed peppermint candiesfor garnish; optional

Instructions

If you’d love to have the crushed peppermint candy around the rim as you see here:

1. Take 3-4 peppermint candies and place them into a plastic ziptop bag.
2. Using a mallet or rolling pin, crush the peppermints into small pieces.
3. Using your finger, wet the rim of your coffee cup with water. Dip the rim of your cup into a saucer of crushed peppermints.

4. Fill your coffee cup 2/3 full, with black coffee.

5. Next, add about a teaspoon of peppermint extract and stir.

6. Pour the amount of vanilla creamer in to your coffee, as you’d prefer.
7. If desired, add whipped cream to the top of the latte (or use a frother to reach the “look” as you see in the photos).

8. Optional: Sprinkle in a little more crushed peppermint on top of the froth, and serve!

Substitutions

You can easily change things up to reflect different flavors if you’re not looking for, or want top change things up from a peppermint latte recipe! You can use items such as:
