Make a cozy latte with this homemade Peppermint Mocha Latte Syrup. Save the trip to Starbucks and make a holiday latte at home.

Use this peppermint mocha syrup to make a fun holiday coffee

I love to make cozy holiday coffees at home. During the fall I made a pumpkin spice latte syrup and it made my coffee so delicious each day.

When I looked forward to the holiday season I KNEW I needed to make a copy of the Starbucks peppermint mocha latte at home. I took some time to make a healthier Starbucks peppermint mocha syrup with 5 simple ingredients.

What is in a Starbucks peppermint mocha latte?

When Starbucks makes their peppermint mocha holiday drinks they use both a peppermint syrup and a sweet mocha sauce. They then add espresso, brewed coffee, iced coffee, or cold brew depending on the type of coffee drink you are ordering.

I wanted to simplify this process so I made a coffee syrup with the peppermint and sweet mocha all in one. Best of all, I only use 5 simple ingredients to make this syrup.

Once the syrup is made I store it in the fridge and use it in my daily coffees and lattes. Keep reading for an at home Starbucks peppermint mocha latte recipe.

What kitchen tools will I need to make this homemade peppermint mocha syrup?

  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Liquid measuring cup
  • Sauce pan
  • Can opener
  • Whisk
  • Mason jar for storage

What ingredients will I need to make this homemade mocha syrup?

You will be amazed at how easy it is to make this peppermint mocha latte syrup at home with just 5 paleo friendly ingredients.

  • Light coconut milk (can substitute with regular coconut milk, but light is best)
  • Coconut sugar
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Peppermint extract
  • Salt

Let’s make a Peppermint Mocha Latte Syrup!

Step 1: Mix ingredients and bring to a boil

To begin, add coconut milk, coconut sugar, and cocoa powder to a small saucepan. Then, whisk the ingredients together and bring to a boil. Be careful not to let the mixture boil over the edge of the pan.

Step 2: Simmer

Once boiling, reduce the mixture a simmer. Then, simmer uncovered for 14 minutes, whisking occasionally.

Step 3: Add peppermint and cool

Next, remove the pot from heat and allow to cool for a minute before whisking in the peppermint extract and salt. Finally, allow the syrup to cool completely then place in a glass jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks

Step 4: Enjoy!

Homemade Peppermint Mocha Latte Recipe – Starbucks Copycat

  • 1 tbsp peppermint mocha latte syrup
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 2 shots of espresso or 1 small cup of coffee
  • Cocoa powder for garnish

To begin, brew espresso or coffee and place in mug of choice. Then, froth milk with the latte syrup in a milk frother or warm milk and mix with latte syrup using a hand frother.

Next, pour peppermint mocha foam over coffee or espresso. Finally, garnish your mug with a dash of extra cocoa powder.

How should I store this latte syrup?

It is important to allow the syrup to cool completely and then transfer to a glass jar. I like to use mason jars with a plastic replacement lid.

Place the syrup in the fridge and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

    Hi, will the syrup work for cold coffee instead? Or does it require the warm milk to dissolve it?

    Thanks! 🙂

      I use it in iced coffee and its great! But helps to use some kind of a frother or whisk to mix it in with the mix before the iced coffee

    Just made half a batch of peppermint mocha and half a batch of gingerbread syrup and they are incredible! Super easy to find ingredients and easy to follow recipes. Can’t wait to add espresso and oat milk and make a latte in the morning! These are the perfect homemade syrups! 10/10!

    This syrup is SO delish! It took everything in me not to just eat it straight out of the jar this morning. It’s so close to the Starbucks flavor, but better in my opinion! Thank you so much for this early bit of Christmas Cheer, Madeline!

    Would coconut cream work for this recipe instead of coconut milk? I made your pumpkin spice syrup, which uses coconut cream (amazing by the way!), and have a few extra cans of it. Thanks for sharing this!

      Yes! It will work it will just be a little thicker similar to the pumpkin spice!

    Hello! Wondering if normal dairy milk and sugar will work instead of coconut. I don’t have those in my pantry and I’m dying to try this!

    I loved this syrup! I had some left over whipping cream from a different recipe and I mixed it up with that and made peppermint mocha whipped cream for a fancy coffee treat and it was delicious!!
