Recipe for Peppermint Latte

This peppermint latte recipe allows you to make a latte without an espresso machine.  Learn how to make peppermint syrup for lattes.

It's that time of the year again! Time to transition to sweaters and boots, go apple picking and sip lattes by the fireplace.  Unless you live in South Florida like me then you turn your AC to 70, turn on the fireplace app on your TV and snuggle under the blanket, enjoy a latte and pretend it is not 90 degrees out.  During the week mornings are a blur.  Some days I forget to make coffee other mornings by the time I go to drink it my cup is cold.  At least one day of the weekend my hubby and daughter treat me to breakfast in bed.  Now I have one more thing to look forward to on the weekends, an amazing Peppermint Latte at home.

My brother is a foodie and his coffee game is unreal.  He has the real deal espresso maker.  And he is famous for his amazing coffee drinks.  I always look forward to one of his coffee creations when I visit him, but the idea of having one more kitchen appliance could send me over the edge.  With International Delight® One Touch Latte'™ you can enjoy a latte without having to spend the money or find space for a fancy coffee machine.
