Introducing the Aero Peppermint Mocha.
From Terry’s chocolate orange hot chocolate to gingerbread lattes, the list of Christmas drinks available from coffee shops this year seems endless.
But there’s a new drink in town that cannot be found anywhere on the high street. If you want it, you’ve got to make it at home yourself.
Don’t worry though, it’s ridiculously easy! Plus, you probably already have most of the ingredients lying around in your kitchen anyways.
Introducing the Aero Peppermint Mocha.
My favourite holiday drink is the Peppermint Mocha from Starbucks; or, I guess it used to be my favourite. The Aero Peppermint Mocha is hands down the most delicious thing I will consume this holiday season.
Here’s everything you need to make it:
- Milk of choice
- Whipped cream
- Aero Peppermint chocolate bar
- Hot chocolate powder
- Coffee powder (or fresh espresso)
Here’s how you make it (*Serves 1*):
- Pour your milk of choice (enough for 1 cup) into a pan and heat on the stove over medium heat.
- Add in 8-10 individual squares of the Aero peppermint chocolate bar.
- Stir the chocolate into the milk until it begins to melt.
- If you have a milk frother, electric whisk, or regular whisk, I’d recommend using that to continue mixing.
- Once combined, and you’re happy with the temperature of the mint chocolate milk, take it off the heat, cover, and place to the side (*Be careful not to overheat the milk!*).
- Add 1 heaped teaspoon each of coffee powder and hot chocolate powder into a mug (or if you have fresh espresso, mix this with 1 tsp of hot chocolate powder).
- Add in a little milk and stir into a paste (this is essential!).
- Next, add around half a cup of boiling water into the mug and stir.
- Pour your mint chocolate milk mixture into the mug and stir again.
- Top with whipped cream and crushed pieces of Aero peppermint chocolate.
- Enjoy!
*You can also enjoy a caffeine-free version of this by omitting the coffee and making this into a peppermint hot chocolate.
After I first made this, I let my boyfriend try a sip and his jaw hit the ground over how delicious it is. He said it was the best thing I’ve ever made! If that doesn’t convince you to try this out, I don’t know what will!
