Ingredients
  

  • one shot freshly brewed espresso
  • cup oat milk add more if you like milky coffee or less
  • splash pure vanilla extract
  • small splash pure peppermint extract approx ¼ tsp, adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp raw cacao powder adjust to taste
  • optional sweetener such as agave
  • ¼ cup oat milk for frothing

Method
 

  1. Make a fresh shot of espresso.
  2. Depending on how strong you like your coffee, steam the desired amount of oat milk to go with one 1 shot of espresso. Or if you don't have a steamer you can heat the milk in a small saucepan or in a mug in the microwave.
  3. Mix in an approximate tablespoon of raw cacao powder, a small splash peppermint extract and pure vanilla extract in with the milk. I used a milk frother to mix it all together.
  4. Add the espresso shot and mix again. Personally I didn’t add sweetener but you can add agave if you wish for added sweetener.
  5. Taste and adjust as necessary.
  6. Top with foamed oat milk and cacao powder dusting.
  7. Enjoy!
