Copycat Starbucks Peppermint Mocha

Starbucks Copycat Peppermint Mocha is warming, smooth and luscious. So easily made at home without having to run out and spend the big bucks. Make one soon and enjoy every sip!

If you have been on our blog before, you know we love hot beverages. Well, we love cold ones too but, today it’s all about another hot and creamy beverage. I love going to Starbucks for my favorite hot and cold beverages. Recently I had for the first time their Peppermint Mocha.  Oh wow! it was fabulous. I loved it and knew it was a recipe I had to duplicate at home. The one thing I don’t like about any of the coffee shops is the high prices. Now, you can easily make this at home for a fraction of the cost.This recipe is so simple with only a handful of ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry and fridge. Make a mug, sit down and enjoy every warm sip.
