![]() But guess what? You can create steamed milk in a clean empty glass jar! Yup, that's all you need. This Kuissential Deluxe frother is rated really well on Amazon. There are also fairly inexpensive frothers that both heat and froth the milk. It's battery operated and all you do is place in warm milk and give it whirrrr. One of the easiest ways is to purchase an inexpensive handheld "frother". Can this be done without an espresso machine? Yup! There are actually a few ways to steam milk without fancy equipment. Steaming milk with an espresso machine does make it hot, but it also creates foam (microfoam) or tiny bubbles. Is steamed milk simply hot milk? No, not really. Add a splash of the peppermint syrup and you've got a delicious Peppermint hot cocoa, yum! The mocha sauce is wonderful drizzled on ice cream and makes wonderful hot chocolate when combined with milk and heated. I did a bit of googling, tried a few different recipes and came up with my own versions. That was a great start! They use two different sauces a sweet mocha sauce and a peppermint flavored syrup. It's all topped off with whipped cream and dark chocolate curls. I started out with Starbuck's Peppermint Mocha description:Ī holiday classic made with our signature espresso, steamed milk, sweet mocha sauce and peppermint-flavored syrup. Why not figure out how to make these delicious drinks at home? Although I have an espresso maker that makes a wonderful peppermint mocha, my challenge was to develop a recipe that didn't require fancy, expensive equipment. It was not great though and would sadly probably not order this one again.The only place I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying a peppermint mocha is at Starbucks, but at more than $4 a pop (cha-ching!), I have to restrain myself, as our budget just doesn't allow frequent coffee indulgences. Until now, that is.Įarlier this season, while still anticipating the first beloved chocolate and peppermint coffee drink, I got an idea. "I really thought I would like this one because I loved their PSL. I was so surprised because the McDonald’s PSL was something I was actually into, and I am normally anti PSL and pro-pepmoch, but it was toothpaste juice." - Alie "McDonald’s tasted like toothpaste juice. It tasted more like toothpaste than a true, yummy mint flavor, and it also wasn’t very chocolaty. And what sane human would ever do that?" - Julia ![]() "I had one sip and it was like eating a Hershey's bar right after you just brushed your teeth. So if you like to buy pricey seasonal drinks every day but can’t really afford to, I would suggest this one. I assume getting a Peppermint Mocha here is cheaper than getting one from Starbucks because Dunkin' keeps it real like that. This drink didn’t have the strongest flavors, but it was still pretty good. It wasn’t very chocolaty or minty or even coffee-y! Just a very lightly flavored warm cup of milk." - Alie It tasted more like burnt milk than a Peppermint Mocha." - Madison "This one was fine, though it definitely wasn’t very flavorful. "It tasted a little watery and vaguely mocha-y. And it pains me to say that." - Brooke Dunkin' Donuts: Decent I don’t drink sugary coffee drinks now, but can they make it in a cookie? I’d eat the shit out of peppermint mocha cookies." - Alie It tasted like a really chocolaty hot cocoa with some peppermint flavor. ![]() "This tasted like the delicious memories of my youth (#TBT early 20s) where I drank Peppermint Mochas nonstop for the two months they were available every year. ![]() To be honest, I took what was left from the taste test back to my desk and drank the whole thing. From the first gulp, I could hear Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas.' So, safe to say this is a solid holiday drink." - J ulia "As someone who's never felt the urge to order a mint chocolate beverage, I must say, I'm converted and will probably get one tomorrow, TBH.
