Ingredients

4 oz espresso (see note below on how to make if you are unfamiliar) .
whipped cream .
red sugar crystals .
12 oz steamed milk (I use Fat Free) .
3 tbsps warm water .
3 tbsps powdered baking cocoa (I used Ghirardelli-sweet ground chocolate & cocoa powder) .
1 1/2 tbsps peppermint syrup (do not use extract- you can buy a very large bottle of syrup at Starbucks for $7) or creme de menthe

Directions

Step #3 Add espresso Add Peppermint syrup.
Step #4 Steam milk & add to remainder of c.
Step #5 Garnish with whipped cream & sugar crystals.
Step #6 Note: To make espresso (for 2 servings of this recipe) for those who do not know how, follow the directions below.
Step #7 Don't let the thought scare you it is almost as easy as making regular american coffee- it just takes a little practice: Buy a $30 machine (Mr.
Step #8 Coffee ECM250 is good).
Step #9 Put water into carafe up to band & put into machine.
Step #10 Put coffee (any kind of finely ground) into filter head & pack down well.
Step #11 Turn on & brew until carafe fills to 4 c line that way there is still enough water in machine to steam milk.
Step #12 Switch to steam mode & steam milk (if you do not have a frothing pitcher a 12 oz ceramic mug will work filled half way with milk but takes 2 fill ups to make one serving of this recipe).
