Tis' the season for holiday drinks! This healthy peppermint mocha takes 5 minutes or less to make and is delicious! During the holidays, I love to feel the holiday spirit daily and making this healthy seasonal coffee is the perfect way to enjoy the season.

Healthy Peppermint Mocha Ingredients

Death Wish Coffee
Peppermint extract
Cocoa powder
Sugar (or alternative sweetener of choice)
2% milk
No-sugar added whipped cream
Crushed peppermint like candy canes
Shaved chocolate

Feel free to make this drink sugar free except for the toppings by using an alternative sweetener if you like. I like using a strong coffee for this recipe so the coffee flavor is not drowned out by the peppermint and cocoa powder. The coffee from Death Wish Coffee is delicious! It is bold and flavorful and makes the best addition to this drink.

Death Wish Coffee makes an amazing holiday gift as well. For a couple family members, I am making a cozy gift basket with a blanket, coffee mugs, coffee, etc. Everyone loves cozy!

Death Wish Coffee is fair trade and USDA organic. It comes in ground coffee, whole beans, and pods. Their beans are lower in acid so they are not bitter and don't have a burnt flavor.

How to Make a Peppermint Mocha

First, brew your coffee. Pour Death Wish Coffee coffee into a mug and whisk in peppermint extract, cocoa powder, sugar and milk. If you like, you can use a frother to add foam to the drink. Top with whipped cream, crushed peppermint and shaved chocolate. To shave the chocolate, you can use a grater or knife.

I can see my family enjoying these on Christmas morning! This year especially for some reason, it helps me to feel the Christmas spirit often and this is a fun tiny way to do it.
