- 0.25 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 teaspoon sugar substitute or sweetener of choice
- 0.25 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed peppermint candy (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, heat the skim milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Step 2
Meanwhile, prepare 1/2 cup of strong coffee or espresso. Set aside.
Step 3
Once the milk is steaming, remove the saucepan from the heat. Use a milk frother, immersion blender, or whisk to froth the milk until it becomes foamy.
Step 4
In a large mug, combine the coffee or espresso with the peppermint extract and sugar substitute. Stir well to mix.
Step 5
Carefully pour the frothed milk into the mug, holding back the foam with a spoon. Once the milk is poured, spoon the foam on top.
Step 6
If desired, garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder or crushed peppermint candy for an extra festive touch.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy peppermint latte!
