Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Optional: homemade whipped cream and crushed peppermint candy for garnish topping

Instructions

  • Add the sugar, salt, and water to a heavy bottomed pot or pan.
  • Mix over medium heat until dissolved. 
  • Bring to a boil and allow to cook for 5 minutes, stirring to prevent boiling over.
  • Remove your syrup from the heat.
  • Add in the cocoa powder and stir to dissolve into the syrup.
  • Slowly, using a whisk, stir in the cream, and milk until completely combined. 
  • Add in the vanilla and peppermint extract. 
  • Taste your creamer and adjust the peppermint to your liking. Add more if needed.
  • Pour your creamer into a container to store in the fridge.
  • Add to freshly brewed coffee and enjoy with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and garnish with crushed peppermint candy.

Notes

  • Using a heavy bottomed pot or pan to heat the sugar and water will prevent the sugar from scorching.
  • Can use white sugar, organic cane sugar, honey, or brown sugar. Note using brown sugar might change the overall flavor due to the molasses found in brown sugar.8
  • The creamer can be made in larger batches and frozen. To use, reheat on the stove over medium low heat, whisking to be sure it remains combined to use once warmed through.
