STARBUCKS PEPPERMINT MOCHA

Steps:
- Combine 3 Tbsp Baking Cocoa with 3 Tbsp warm water to make into a rich syrup. Pour into a 16 ounce mug.
- Add espresso
- Add Peppermint syrup.
- Steam milk and add to remainder of cup.
- Garnish with whipped cream and sugar crystals.
- Note: To make espresso (for 2 servings of this recipe) for those who do not know how, follow the directions below. 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. Coffee ECM250 is good).
- Put water into carafe up to band and put into machine.
- Put coffee (any kind of finely ground) into filter head and pack down well.
- Turn on and brew until carafe fills to 4 cup line that way there is still enough water in machine to steam milk.
- Switch to steam mode and 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).
- Follow recipe and enjoy!

PEPPERMINT MOCHA CUPCAKES
Intense chocolate cupcakes with a hint of peppermint and coffee. I like them frosted with a simple whipped cream (consisting of heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla), but they'd be delicious with a white chocolate or vanilla buttercream as well!

Tips:
- To ensure a moist and fluffy muffin, don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and evenly.
- If you don't have a muffin pan, you can use a regular baking pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- For a more intense peppermint flavor, add a few drops of peppermint extract to the batter.
- These muffins are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
