Here’s an easy peasy to throw together homemade peppermint mocha creamer using my home canned chocolate syrup recipe (or whatever you want to use or buy) with a couple other simple ingredients to make your morning coffee, afternoon coffee, or bedtime coffee exciting for the winter season. There’s just something so cozy to me about peppermint and chocolate in the winter! I don’t normally use creamer in my coffee but homemade coffee creamers are pretty fun and less poisonous.
This creamer is also a good addition to make homemade hot chocolate with. Make it exciting by serving with candy canes and homemade marshmallows for a really fun treat. This also makes a great gift idea to gift the home canned chocolate sauce along with a hand written recipe card on how to make the creamer and/or peppermint hot cocoa. Tie a cute ribbon around your jar, add the recipe card, and a bag of homemade marshmallows and a mug from a small business.. What a fun, thoughtful, intentional, and useful gift to make your friends coffee break so much sweeter :)
I normally make my own peppermint extract, but this year I slacked, so linked in the recipe card below, I do have my favorite peppermint extract to purchase if I don’t make it myself!
