• Festive Flavors: The combination of peppermint and mocha creates a holiday-inspired delight.
• Customizable: Adjust the sweetness and peppermint intensity to suit your taste.

Ingredients

To make this Peppermint Cold Brew, you’ll need:

• 8 fl oz cold brew: Choose your favorite brand or make your own.
• Ice: Use as much or as little as you prefer.
• 3 fl oz peppermint mocha nutpods: Adds creaminess and a hint of mocha.
• 2 tbsp peppermint syrup: For a sweet and minty kick.
• 1/4 tsp peppermint extract: Enhances the peppermint flavor.

Equipment

• Milk frother (optional): Ideal for creating the perfect cold foam. If you don’t have one, don’t worry – you can still make this recipe by simply stirring the ingredients.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base: Start by pouring your cold brew into a glass filled with ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons of peppermint syrup, saving the remaining syrup for the next step.
2. Make the Cold Foam: In your milk frother, combine 1/2 tablespoon peppermint syrup, 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, and the peppermint mocha nutpods. Press the button for cold foam and let it work its magic. If you don’t have a frother, simply stir these ingredients directly into your cold brew from step 1.
3. Assemble the Drink: Once the cold foam is ready, carefully pour it over your cold brew. Go slow to ensure it sits beautifully on top of the coffee. And there you have it – your Peppermint Cold Brew is ready to enjoy!

Tips for the Best Peppermint Cold Brew

• Adjust the Sweetness: Add more or less peppermint syrup based on your preference.
• Experiment with Creamers: If you don’t have peppermint mocha nutpods, try another flavored creamer or plain almond milk with a touch of cocoa powder.
• Make It Decaf: Use decaffeinated cold brew for a late-night treat.
