Sugar Free Peppermint Mocha Syrup
- 1 cup hot water (not boiling)
Whisk in
While this mixture is still very warm whisk in:
- 1/8 tsp of xanthan gum, continue to whisk it until no lumps remain.
Now add in:
- 1 dash of celtic sea salt (don't forget the salt it cuts the stevia)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa and whisk-whisk again, you don't want any lumps here.
- 1/3 -1/2 teaspooons pure peppermint extract
Notes
- Remember for each 8 oz of coffee you need to add up to 1/4 cup of the peppermint chocolate syrup and 2 tablespoons of cream for S If you would like it to be FP just add 2 tablespoons half and half instead of the cream and be sure and add protein if it's a snack with no other protein source. Enjoy your guilt free drink peppermint mocha!
- Traveling? Pour about 1/4 cup per 8 ounce serving of the coffee you want to enjoy into a small container and take it to your favorite coffee shop.
- If enjoying this at home add a tablespoon of whey powder or collagen protein and a tsp MCT oil in a blender/processor with the coffee before adding in the syrups (the protein powder should dissolve without it, but the mixer will emulsify the mct oil).
- No other sweeteners are needed, of course!
- These syrups are essentially designed for the strong coffee house coffees, so after you make your first batch you may be able to cut back on the sweeteners in the recipe which will allow you to still use the 1/4 cup measure per cup of coffee but with less sweetness. (I haven't done this, I like the minty hot chocolate flavor, just a thought.)
