So to put me in the spirit and get me motivated to finish my tree and alcoves I had to make a little Peppermint Mocha
delish peppermint mocha
Recipe:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (i made it twice and used 1/2 the second time)
3 tablespoons powdered cocoa
3 tablespoons warm water
1/2 cup hot espresso
1 1/2 cups hot milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (i made it twice and used 1/2 the second time)
3 tablespoons powdered cocoa
3 tablespoons warm water
1/2 cup hot espresso
1 1/2 cups hot milk
Stir the water and sugar in a saucepan until sugar dissolves and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and add peppermint extract. Allow mixture to simmer for 20 minutes.
Mix cocoa and water in a mag until paste forms. Add espresso and 1 1/2 teaspoon of the peppermint syrup. Finally, add the milk and serve hot.
After two of those babies I could have repainted the whole house. :)
the tree finished
