This festive Peppermint Iced Mocha Latte Recipe uses coffee, milk, mocha sauce and mint extract, topped with cream and chocolate curls!
Equipment
- Small Saucepan
- Blender
Ingredients
- 2 tsp powdered coffee
- ¼ cup water
- 1 cup oat milk
- 1 cup ice
- vegan whipped cream optional
- chocolate curls optional
- fresh mint leaves optional
For the Peppermint Syrup
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar
- ¼ tsp peppermint extract
- 1 tbsp water
For the Mocha Syrup
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp coffee powder
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- Pinch salt
- ¼ + ⅛ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- To make the peppermint syrup first, take a small saucepan and warm it up over medium-low heat on the stovetop.
- Add the peppermint syrup ingredients and constantly whisk until it is all liquid and the sugar is dissolved in the water. It doesn't need to thicken - just until it's all dissolved and made into a syrup.
- Once done, remove from heat and pour into a small bowl. Set aside.
- To make the mocha syrup, pour all ingredients for it into a small saucepan, again over medium-low heat. Constantly whisk until it is all a liquid, then remove from heat and pour into the same bowl as the peppermint syrup.
- Allow the syrups to cool down for 15 minutes before moving to the next step.
- For the coffee, whisk together the powdered coffee and water.
- To assemble, pour the ice into a tall glass. Blend together the milk, coffee and both syrups in one pulse in the blender.
- Once everything is mixed together, pour the liquid mixture on top of the ice.
- Top with vegan whipped cream, fresh mint leaves and chocolate curls to serve!
