Peppermint White Mochas

Tis’ the season to need caffeine, fa la la la laaaa, la la la la! I joke of course, but I do enjoy seasonal coffee drinks, a whole LOT this time of year. I for one am very excited when coffee shops come out with their Peppermint White Mochas and other delicious seasonal flavored offerings.

In fact I love Peppermint White Mochas so much that I now make my own at home, and guess what, they are SO much better homemade!

Today I'm sharing how I make my Peppermint White Mochas, homemade peppermint white chocolate syrup, homemade whipped cream and chocolate dipped candy canes. Ok, I don’t always have the candy canes on hand but they really do make this drink ultra-festive and fun for the holidays.

If you plan to serve this coffee drink to family or friends, make a batch of the candy canes, they are a guaranteed crowd pleaser!

Homemade Peppermint White Chocolate Syrup

Now let’s talk syrup. Homemade peppermint white chocolate syrup is easy to make and only requires 4 ingredients: white chocolate, heavy cream, sugar and peppermint extract. Simple!

Keep a bottle in the fridge and you’ll have homemade peppermint white mochas anytime the craving strikes, which could be both dangerous and delicious…but mostly delicious. Also, this syrup makes an amazing gift if you are looking to make something homemade. 

Peppermint White Chocolate Syrup Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 3.5 oz (1 bar) of white chocolate, chopped into small pieces
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup sugar
• ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract

Directions:

1. In a small saucepan heat heavy cream and sugar over medium heat stirring until sugar is melted and milk begins to simmer.
2. Remove pot from the heat and stir in chopped white chocolate.
3. Allow to sit in the hot milk mixture for a few minutes to melt and then whisk. If chocolate is not completely melted, return to lowest heat and whisk until completely melted.
4. Stir in peppermint extract and pour into a heat proof jar or bottle to cool completely before refrigerating. *Always refrigerate this syrup.

How to Make a Peppermint White Mocha

1. I start by adding about 2 tablespoons of the white chocolate syrup to a mug (sometimes more if I’m being completely honest) and then a hearty splash of warm milk, about ¼ cup.
2. Pour freshly brewed coffee right over the syrup and milk mixture. The fresh brewed, hot coffee warms everything through and makes the drink frothy and delicious.
3. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkling of crushed candy canes, and one of those chocolate dipped candy canes for an edible stir stick garnish.

You will be in heaven, your family will be in heaven, your holiday guests will never leave…Ok, maybe I exaggerate just a wee little bit but my gosh these Peppermint White Mochas are good. I hope you will give them a try! Now off to brew myself another Peppermint White Mocha.
