Hi dear reader, Merry Christmas!! 🎄
I hope you’re having a wonderful Christmas time with family and friends (or by yourself!) and enjoying all the festivities! I just wanted to share one last quick little Christmas recipe on here.
This Peppermint Mocha Latte is a deliciously easy treat for the holidays. Picture this: The Holiday is on, it’s snowing outside, a big mug of hot mocha latte. You’re wrapping your hands around the warm mug, drinking sip by sip. A gentle, quiet, calming moment amid all the holiday madness. You’re warm and cozy, time stands still and it’s a perfect Christmas!
Besides, who doesn’t love sugar and caffeine? The perfect duo. Creating a wonderful buzz of energy after the calm. And isn’t that what Christmas is all about?
