Shopping Tips
I strongly recommend you buy a good quality unsweetened cocoa. It does make a huge difference. I like to use Ghirardelli or Droste. Most supermarkets sell these 2 brands.
Peppermint extract can be found in supermarkets in the spice section. I bought mine at Trader Joe’s.
I like to make this drink using the new Starbucks Vanilla Coffee (k-cup) for the Keurig machine. Most supermarkets and Target sell this yummy, vanilla coffee. Or use your favorite regular coffee.

Ingredientes
- ⅔ cup fat-free milk

- ⅛ teaspoon peppermint extract

Direcciones
- Brew coffee stronger than usual. In a small pot, add milk, cocoa, Splenda and peppermint extract. Over medium high heat, mix until cocoa is dissolved and mixture is hot.
- Transfer to a blender and process for about 15 seconds until foamy. If you don’t have a blender, don’t worry. Just whisk the mixture in the pot continuously with a wire whisk until foamy. Pour brewed coffee into a large cup and pour hot milk mixture over coffee. Stir to blend.
- Top with whipped cream, if desired.
