Our Favorite Holiday Coffee Drinks

Try making one of our favorite holiday coffee drinks below to keep you warm this winter and have a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season!

Peppermint Mocha
This is a great for when you can't decide between hot cocoa or coffee on a winter's day! Why not have BOTH?

• Start with your favorite KAHA coffee variety, our favorites to use for these recipes are: Winter Blend, New England Blend, Kia Kaha, Vertical Espresso, Diagonal Espresso.
• Next add 1-2 tablespoons (to taste) of your favorite hot cocoa powder and mix well
• Next add 1-3 drops (to taste) of peppermint extract, peppermint oil, or peppermint flavoring and mix well. We like Frontier Co-op brand Peppermint Flavor

OR

• Take a candy cane and use to mix the hot cocoa powder. The heat from the hot coffee will start to melt away the candy cane adding great peppermint flavor to your drink! You can also hang the candy cane on the edge of your mug as a decoration.

Top with: Whipped Cream, Crushed peppermint candy, and a dusting of hot cocoa powder


Peppermint Coffee, Latte, or Cappuccino
Similar to the above peppermint mocha, but with without the hot cocoa.

• Start with your favorite KAHA coffee variety, our favorites to use for these recipes are: Winter Blend, New England Blend, Kia Kaha, Vertical Espresso, Diagonal Espresso.
• Prepare some coffee or espresso in your preferred way (French press, drip, latte, cappuccino, etc.). 
  *One of our favorite home methods is the Mokapot with our Vertical Espresso blend
• Next add 1-4 drops (to taste) of peppermint extract, peppermint oil, or peppermint flavoring and mix well. We like Frontier Co-op brand Peppermint Flavor. OR Take a candy cane and stir it in the coffee or espresso. The heat from the hot coffee or espresso will start to melt away the candy cane adding great peppermint flavor to your drink! You can also hang the candy cane on the edge of your mug as a decoration.
• Steam your milk to create your cappuccino or latte.

Eggnog Coffee
This is one of our favorites for two reasons:

1. It combines two great drinks: coffee and eggnog
2. It is super simple

Just make a cup, or a pot, of your favorite KAHA coffee variety, our favorites to use for these recipes are: Winter Blend, New England Blend, Kia Kaha, Vertical Espresso, Diagonal Espresso.

and add a few tablespoons of eggnog, as you would creamer, to your coffee! Presto! A great tasting holiday coffee drink!
