In a small saucepan, combine all your ingredients, except for the whipped cream. On medium heat, bring to a boil. Once it begins to boil, reduce to very low. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly.
Remove from the heat and let cool for a minute, before pouring into two mugs. Top with whipped cream and enjoy.
Notes
For an iced peppermint mocha, let the mocha cool for 5 minutes, before pouring into a glass filled with ice. Alternatively, let it cool completely, before refrigerating for up to 3 days. For a peppermint mocha frappucino, chill the mocha and then blend 1 cup with 1 cup of ice. Add extra sweetener if needed.
