Peppermint Mocha Coffee Syrup Recipe

This Peppermint Mocha Coffee Syrup is the perfect way to add a festive, minty-chocolate flavor to your coffee, hot chocolate, or desserts. It's a great homemade alternative to store-bought syrups, and it's easy to make!


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules (optional, for an extra coffee flavor)

Instructions:

1. Make the Syrup:

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk together until smooth and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure the sugar and cocoa powder dissolve completely.

2. Add Coffee (Optional):

If you'd like to add more coffee flavor, stir in the instant coffee granules. Continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the syrup to thicken slightly.

3. Add Peppermint and Vanilla:

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peppermint extract and vanilla extract. Adjust the peppermint flavor to your liking by adding more extract if desired.

4. Cool and Store:

Let the syrup cool completely, then transfer it to a glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.


How to Use:

  • Coffee: Add a tablespoon of the syrup to your coffee or espresso for a delicious peppermint mocha.
  • Hot Chocolate: Stir into hot chocolate for a festive twist.
  • Desserts: Drizzle over ice cream, pancakes, or baked goods for an extra flavor boost.

Tips and Variations:

  • Sweetener Alternatives: You can use brown sugar or maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
  • Vegan Version: Swap regular sugar with coconut sugar or use a sugar substitute of your choice.
  • Thicker Syrup: If you prefer a thicker syrup, allow it to simmer for a little longer until it reaches your desired consistency.

This Peppermint Mocha Coffee Syrup adds the perfect holiday flavor to your favorite drinks and treats. Whether you're cozying up with a hot beverage or baking something sweet, this syrup is sure to bring a festive touch! 🎄☕
