Instant Peppermint Mocha Latte Mix
This mix departs from the normal latte mix because it uses instant espresso mix for a stronger coffee taste. It makes 2 cups of mix. Double or triple as needed.

Ingredients
- 1/3 cup instant espresso ( I used Medaglia D'Oro which is here on Amazon, but I also found it locally)
- 1/4 cup Cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup Non-fat powdered milk
- 1/2 cup Regular powdered creamer
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar (Note: this is adjustable)
- 1 tsp. cornstarch (Note: this helps make the drink smooth and creamy. It is optional.)
- 2 tsp. Vanilla powder *optional
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup Broken/crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Combine the first 8 ingredients in a blender or food processor. I find this makes a smoother mix that does not clump. Stir in the crushed candy canes and put the finished mix into the desired container.
- To make one mocha latte: stir 3 heaping tbsps. into 8 oz. of hot water and mix well. Enjoy!
Notes
For a dark chocolate orange mocha latte variation:
Follow instructions above except:- Replace cocoa with dark chocolate baking cocoa powder (Hershey's makes this)
- Add 1 tsp. of oil-based orange extract (do not use an extract with water in it)
- Replace 1/2 broken candy canes with 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips
