Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon peppermint syrup
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Crushed candy cane for dusting
  • 1 candy cane for stirring (optional)

Method
 

  1. Warm the milk in a small pot over medium-low heat until a thermometer reads 150°F, about 4 minutes. Never boil.
  2. Stir in the peppermint syrup.
  3. Pour into a mug.
  4. Top with whipped cream and a dusting of crushed candy cane.

Notes

No cocoa — this is steamed milk, not hot chocolate. Take candy cane stirrers away from children under 3.
