This festive drink gives you full chocolate-coffee flavour with a lift of peppermint, but with far less sugar than coffee shop versions. Unsweetened almond milk enriches the drink while keeping things light; you can substitute unsweetened cashew, macadmia, or soy milk if you prefer. A quick spin in a blender creates a luscious frothy foam layer that holds up well without deflating, even after you sprinkle on the finishing touch of crushed peppermint candies. You can leave out the blending step for a more straightforward coffee beverage.
