How to Make Your White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Latte
- Start by filling your favorite coffee cup halfway with very hot water—think coffee-hot.
- Stir in 1 tsp of Instant Espresso, ½ tsp of Peppermint Extract, and ½ tsp of Pure Vanilla Extract until well combined.
- Now for the pièce de résistance! In a glass measuring cup, heat ¼ cup of Heavy Whipping Cream along with 2-3 tablespoons of White Chocolate for about 90 seconds. This helps melt the chocolate into the cream.
- Froth the mixture until it’s nice and fluffy. You want it to be light and airy, perfect for topping your latte.
- Pour that frothy cream over your espresso mix and serve. Optional: garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa or extra peppermint for a festive touch!
