PEPPERMINT WHITE HOT CHOCOLATE #CHRISTMAS #DRINK

I admit that peppermint has become one of my favorite drinks since I first started ordering drinks at the coffee shop. In fact, I believe that in "chocolate peppermint steamer" was the first drink I ordered at a coffee shop in high school, when my friend Maggie took me to a small hole in the neighborhood in Wichita. called The Perk. (Yes, it was during the time "Friend".) Ironically, Maggie now really owns the coffee shop. And I also still like the peppermint chocolate steamer, even though I now know that I actually ordered peppermint hot chocolate. When made with white hot chocolate, this drink still feels like a special treat.

All you need are a few minutes and a few ingredients to make it.  So if you love hot chocolate, I highly recommend giving it a try.  It will definitely help keep you warm all season long.  ;)

This peppermint white hot chocolate recipe is simple to make, and perfectly sweetened with peppermint.


INGREDIENTS:

• 4 cups of milk of your choice
• 8 oz. white chocolate, chopped into small pieces (or white chocolate chips)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (or more/less to taste)
• optional toppings: whipped cream, crushed peppermints, marshmallows

DIRECTIONS:

1. Stir the milk and chopped white chocolate together in a medium saucepan.  Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer and the chocolate is melted.  (Do not let it come to a boil or let the chocolate burn on the bottom.)  Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and peppermint extract.
