Skinny Peppermint Mocha Latte ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #healthy #coffee

Skinny Peppermint Mocha Latte

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 5 minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: More than 12 oz. of syrup 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the skinny chocolate peppermint syrup:

  • 1 cup water
  • 4 peppermint tea bags
  • 1 cup sweetener of choice (I used a mix of 3/4 cup stevia in the raw and 1/4 cup sugar. Use the equivalent of 1 cup of sugar.)
  • 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
  • 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

For one mocha:

  • 3/4 cup low-fat milk (I used 1%)
  • 3/4 cup double strength coffee (or a couple shots of espresso)
  • 3 Tablespoons skinny chocolate peppermint syrup (more or less to taste)
  • Optional toppings: light whipped cream, crushed candy canes

Instructions

  1. Heat the cup of water till very hot, then add the tea bags, cover and let steep for at least 5 minutes. Discard the tea bags and pour the peppermint tea into a small saucepan. Add the sweetener, cocoa powder and peppermint extract. Bring to a boil, stirring to get everything to dissolve nicely in the tea, boil for a few minutes, then remove from heat.
  2. To prepare your mocha latte: brew your coffee extra strong (or use espresso) and heat the milk till hot. Froth the milk with a frother or give it a quick spin in the blender. Pour the coffee into your mug, then the chocolate peppermint syrup, then gently pour in the frothy milk. To make it extra special, top with a bit of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed candy canes.
  3. Pour the extra syrup into a bottle, cover and store in the fridge.
