Tips

If you don’t have peppermint syrup, you can make your own by mixing equal parts of sugar and water in a saucepan, heating until the sugar dissolves, and adding a few drops of peppermint extract.

If you want a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso instead of brewed coffee.

To make the whipped cream, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.

For a fun twist, try adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the blender for a creamy iced peppermint mocha float.
