Serves 2

Ingredients

Strong brewed coffee
2 cups
Coconut milk
1 cup
Peppermint extract
1 teaspoon
Honey
2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
Whipped cream
1/2 cup
Crushed candy canes
1/4 cup (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brew a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method, ensuring it has a bold flavor.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally until hot but not boiling. This will help to enhance the coconut flavor without compromising its creaminess.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peppermint extract and honey until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
  4. Divide the brewed coffee equally between two mugs, filling each mug about halfway.
  5. Pour the hot coconut milk mixture over the coffee in each mug, allowing the vibrant colors to blend beautifully.
  6. Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped cream, then garnish with a sprinkling of crushed candy canes for a festive touch.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting warmth of this delightful beverage!

Tips

  • 💡 For a dairy-free version, ensure the whipped cream is also coconut-based.
  • 💡 Feel free to adjust the peppermint extract to your liking for a stronger or milder flavor.
  • 💡 You can enhance the drink's flavor by adding a pinch of sea salt to the coconut milk mixture.
