Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup cold brew coffee concentrate
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 1-3 tsp peppermint flavor syrup more or less to taste
  • ice
  • ¼ cup oat milk
  • 2 tsp matcha powder
  • 1-2 drops green food coloring optional
  • pink and green sanding sugar

Instructions
 

  • Combine the cold brew, coffee, water, and peppermint flavor syrup in the glass and stir. Add ice.
  • Combine the oat milk, matcha powder, and food coloring in a frother. Give it a good froth, then pour over the minty cold brew.
  • Add a dollop of sanding sugar, and enjoy!
  • Alternately, use strongly brewed peppermint coffee (as described above). Take 1 tablespoon of the coffee and combine with 2 mini candy canes in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until candy canes have melted. Pour the flavored coffee in a glass over ice and add remaining coffee, approximately 1 cup. For a lower sugar version, leave the candy canes out.
  • Proceed with step 2 as above and enjoy!
