Instructions

- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scalding.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the peppermint syrup until well combined.
- For a frothy finish, pour the hot milk mixture into a blender and blend on high speed for 30 seconds until frothy. Alternatively, you can use a milk frother for this step.

- Top generously with whipped cream and garnish with a sprinkle of crushed candy canes for an extra festive touch.

Tips

- Try adding a dash of vanilla extract for added depth.
- For a non-dairy version, substitute regular milk with almond milk or oat milk.
