Serves 1

Ingredients

Espresso
1 shot
Milk
1 cup
Peppermint syrup
2 tablespoons
Whipped cream
1/4 cup
Crushed peppermint candy
1 tablespoon, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brew a shot of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop, etc.).
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  3. Once the milk is hot, remove it from heat and whisk vigorously until it becomes frothy and creamy.
  4. Pour the hot frothed milk into a large mug. Add the peppermint syrup and stir gently to incorporate.
  5. Carefully pour the espresso shot over the milk mixture, allowing it to create a beautiful layered effect.
  6. Top the latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
  7. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candy over the whipped cream for an added touch of festive flair.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra kick, try adding a dash of vanilla extract to the milk before frothing.
  • 💡 If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the amount of peppermint syrup to taste.
  • 💡 Consider using almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version of this latte.
