How to Make Peppermint Cocoa

  1. Crush 1/4 cup of peppermint candy sticks into a fine powder using a food processor.
  2. In a bowl, combine the peppermint powder with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup milk powder (or creamer).
  3. Pulse using a whisk or electric mixer until well combined and smooth.
  4. To prepare one serving, add 1/4 cup of the peppermint cocoa mix to 3/4 cup of freshly boiled water.
  5. Stir until the cocoa is completely dissolved and the drink is frothy. Optional: Add a shot of coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa) for an adult twist and top with whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
