Servings: 1 cup
Calories: 291kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 TBSP coconut oil (or MCT oil)
- 1 TBSP grass-fed butter
- 2 tsp cocoa powder
- 1 TBSP honey (or peppermint stevia to taste - I use about 8 drops)
- ¼ tsp peppermint extract (or 1 drop peppermint essential oil)
Instructions
- Brew the coffee.
- While it's still hot, pour the coffee into a blender or large cup if using an immersion blender.
- Add the remaining ingredients and blend on high for 10 seconds until emulsified. If using peppermint stevia then omit the honey and peppermint extract/oil. This step is important as it creates froth and a creamy flavor instead of an oily one. No frother necessary!
- Drink and enjoy!
Notes
- If pregnant or nursing, see the safety information below.
- Serve with my homemade marshmallows or whipped cream for an extra special treat!
