Peppermint Mocha Latte

Easy, delicious and cheaper than Starbucks. For a traditional mocha latte, simply leave out the mint extract.

 1 tbsp cocoa
2 tbsp sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup espresso or super strong coffee
1/4 tsp pure mint extract

• In a saucepan, whisk cocoa, sugar, milk and mint extract together over medium heat. 
• Whisk briskly until hot, working up a froth.
• Meanwhile, prepare espresso in a mug. 
• Pour hot milk/cocoa mixture into espresso. 
• Top with whip cream if desired.
