Peppermint Mocha

Keeping my Saturday post light, I'd like to give you a little tip.  Starbucks has released peppermint mocha's that you can make in your Keurig (or other such device).  I sampled one last night and I will say the following:

1.  It's a bit more work but very worth it. Instead of just putting in the K cup, you add a packet into the cup ahead of time.

2.  Stir WELL.  Don't skimp on the stirring.

3.  If you REALLY want it to taste like the real thing, spray some whipped cream on top.  

All things said, it's virtually the same thing with only a slight flavor variation and ranks higher on my list than McDonald's peppermint mocha's (blech).   I got my box of 6 peppermint mocha K cup kits for just under $6 which is less than the cost of most Starbucks drinks.

**Side note:  If you ARE set on going to a real Starbucks and getting the real thing, get it turned into a frappuccino.  Seriously, game changer.
