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.

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.
