The directions can be found at the bottom of this page https://www.mindful.sodexo.com/recipes/cold-foam-peppermint-mocha/ but you can also see them here: To Make Chocolate Peppermint Syrup: Whisk cacao powder, warm water, maple syrup and peppermint extract until well blended. Set aside for use. To Make Cold Foam: Place 2 Tablespoons skim milk in a blender. Turn on and process for 15 to 30 seconds or until foamy. NOTE: If not using a blender, place fat free milk in a tall, narrow container. Place hand blender or mixer with whisk attachment or milk frother. Process until foamy. NOTE: You might need to make more cold foam than needed for the recipe depending on the method used to make cold foam. To Make Cold Foam Peppermint Mocha: Warm 3/4 cup fat free milk. Place 1/4 cup chocolate peppermint syrup in bottom of latte or coffee cup. Add 2 shots of espresso. Stir to combine. Add warm milk. Stir well. Top with cold foam. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
