Ingredients

1 cup milk regular or dairy-free
1/4 cup espresso (1 large 1-2 oz shot)
1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/2 teaspoon cacao powder
1 teaspoon maple syrup

Instructions

In a small saucepan or microwave, heat milk until warm.
Whisk in peppermint extract, cocoa powder + maple syrup.
Whisk until warm and frothy. You can use a milk frother if microwaving to incorporate the ingredients.
Pour milk mixture into a mug, and top with espresso and enjoy!

Notes

The maple syrup can be swapped for honey or agave nectar.

This is made dairy-free with almond milk or oat milk, if you don't have any dietary restrictions then whole milk works great.

If microwaving, you can froth this with a milk frother after warmed to incorporate all of the ingredients and give it a bit of that latte texture without having to whisk!
