Make a fabulous peppermint mocha at home with this simple 3 ingredient mix. Just stir it into hot water or milk when you are ready to enjoy it. Each mug tastes like it came from a coffeehouse, but it is much more affordable and you don't have to leave the house! Jars of peppermint mocha mix also make a great gift. So, make a nice big batch.
Put 2 cups hot chocolate mix and ⅓ cup instant coffee granules in your blender or food processor.
Add the ½ teaspoon peppermint extract.
Pulse a few times to fully mix the ingredients and make them a fine powder.
Transfer to an airtight container for storage. Be sure to include a tag with the instructions for using the mix.
To Use The Mix
Stir 3 Tablespoons of mix into 1 cup of hot water or milk. Stir until dissolved. Enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different extracts to make different flavors of mocha. This recipe makes roughly 2⅓ cups of mix. For a stronger coffee flavor, add more instant coffee granules to the mix. Or, use brewed coffee to make the drink rather than hot water or milk.
