Tips and tricks
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Begin with freshly roasted coffee beans or high-quality coffee grounds. Freshness contributes to a more aromatic and flavorful cup.
- Fresh Peppermint: If possible, use fresh peppermint leaves for an authentic and vibrant flavor. Simply bruise the leaves slightly before brewing.
- Peppermint Extract: If using extract, start with a small amount and adjust to taste. A few drops can go a long way in infusing that delightful peppermint essence.
- Brew with Care: Brew your coffee to your preferred strength, ensuring it complements the peppermint’s invigorating flavors.
- Infusion Time: For peppermint leaves, let them steep in hot water for 5-7 minutes before adding to your coffee. For extract, add a drop or two directly to your brewed coffee.
