A yummy Peppermint Mocha for this cold morning!

Just thought I would share this recipe with everyone. I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I love a specialty drink at Starbucks every now and then. So this morning I decided to try this recipe, it is delicious and I even made some fresh whipped cream to top it off. Of course I didn't forget about Weston...I made him a fresh batch of hot cocoa to go with his whip cream!
