Homemade Peppermint Mocha Latte

Here's a quick and easy recipe for making one of my favorite hot beverages, peppermint mocha latte.

Ingredients
1 cup milk (whole works best, but you can use low-fat or skim)
1 tsp instant coffee granules
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 tsp peppermint extract

Place the milk in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until just below a boil, stirring occasionally. Whisk in the instant coffee, chocolate chips and peppermint extract. Continue whisking until the chocolate is dissolved and the beverage is smooth. Remove from heat, pour into a coffee mug, sweeten if desired, and enjoy!

Zestfully yours,
