How would one make peppermint hot cocoa?

I swear I saw somebody post here that they were making peppermint hot cocoa? I have peppermint extract and hot cocoa mix is that all I would need?

It does sound delightful...

that would be one way (and probably the easiest)

That would work.  Though, I would start with just a very little amount of the extract, as I could see it getting over powering quite quickly.

If you use the extract use very little.  I always make hot cocoa as normal then drop a peppermint in there.  By the time its cool enough for me to drink, the peppermint has desolved.

I make hot chocolate and put a candy cane in it

I make candycane cocoa every christmas.  Uses Nestle quick or hot cocoa mix, nonfat dry milk, coffee creamer, powdered sugar and lots of crushed up candycanes.  YUM!

I think the easiest way for a single serving of it is to actually make your hot cocoa the way you like and then stir in a few starlight mints or a candycane.  No risk in the peppermint being too strong.  But I do think a tiny bit of peppermint extract would probably work.  Just proceed cautiously.  )  Oh!  You could also just go to Starbucks and order a pepermint hot cocoa.

You can buy the peppermint syrup that they use to make it at Starbucks...you add a pump or two of it to your hot cocoa mix and you should be good!

I just add a splash of peppermint Schnapps

That was my Mom last night that I posted about.

I put 1-2 drops of extract in hot chocolate.

I stared at a bottle of cream de menthe for about 3 minutes wishing so bad I could just add that lol!

I ended up putting about 2-3 drops of peppermint extract in the cocoa. It's really good!! I like the candy cane ideas though too, I'll have to try that.?
