Move over, pumpkin spice. You had your moment. Now it’s time for PEPPERMINT to shine!

If you like coffee and you like winter flavors, peppermint mocha is your friend! The odd combination of mint and chocolate that shouldn’t go together but are a match made in Heaven. This is the coffee creamer recipe for you. Perhaps it’ll even go well in the iced coffee punch recipe above?

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 2 tsp Vanilla
• 3 drops of quality peppermint essential oil

As with any recipe, don’t be afraid to play around with some of the ingredients. If you prefer to use honey or cane sugar, go for it. If you need more or less sweet, do it, friend!
