Peppermint Latte
I guess it’s the cooler weather that has been making me crave coffee everyday. During the summer, I can’t go near the stuff, but in cooler temperatures, I just have to have it, and lattes are my weakness. I have been making them at home and adding all the delicious flavors of the season, like this peppermint latte. This is another super simple latter simply flavored with a little peppermint extract and a candy cane. It couldn’t be simpler, and is way better and much less expensive than running to Starbucks.
The candy canes featured are organic from Whole Foods. I just love their color.
