I am a huge fan of Starbucks Peppermint Mocha, but I love that I can enjoy my own version at home too.

If only I could afford to have coffees made by baristas every day. However, I try to be frugal and wise with our money and knowing that I can make my own lattes makes it hard to spend $5 each day. 

You won’t believe how easy it is to make your own Peppermint Mocha Coffee Syrup. Just add water, sugar, cocoa powder, and peppermint extract. 

Sometimes in place of regular sugar I use half monk fruit sweetener and half coconut sugar. 

I bet you can even use peppermint essential oil in place of peppermint extract! 

Ingredients Needed:

1/2 cup water

1 cup sugar (or 1/2 cup monk fruit sweetener and 1/2 cup coconut sugar)

2 Tbsp cocoa powder

1/4 tsp peppermint extract

Simply add 1-2 Tbsp of this vegan syrup and 2 Tbsp heavy cream, half & half, or almond milk to your morning cup of coffee and ENJOY!

It is hard to believe that you can make your own syrups so easily, but once you try it, you will never go back!

If you have a Keurig that has a milk frother use that to froth your cream or milk. Otherwise, invest in this $12 milk frother on Amazon. 

I also use the frother to mix our hot cocoas, because yes sometimes we use packets of hot chocolate mix. 😉

  1. Looking for a Chocolate/Mocha Simple Syrup recipe for iced coffee. Would like it to be enough for a medium mason jar.
    Thanks

    1. Hi Mary,

      You can omit the peppermint extract in this recipe and use it as a chocolate/mocha iced coffee syrup. This recipes makes about 3/4 of a cup. You may want to double the recipe to fill a pint-sized (16 ounce) mason jar.

    I made this last week, and it’s already gone! I mix it with hot milk and coffee….perfect peppermint mocha! Toward the end of what I had stored in the fridge, it became slightly crystallized, but dissolved without issue in my hot drink. Thank you for the recipe! I love it!

    1. That’s fantastic, Lydia! Yes, mine crystallizes too a little when there are only a few servings left in the jar. Merry Christmas and thanks for the kind words. 🙂
