Coffee Shop Recipes: Peppermint Rooibos Mocha

One of our favorite things to do is take typical coffee shop items and integrate them into other types of drinks. The peppermint flavor in this drink is real, essential peppermint oil, enhanced by the base of loose-leaf herbal rooibos tea. When the tea is made into a syrup and combined with a rich chocolate sauce, it creates a super satisfying peppermint rooibos mocha with flavors way beyond the typical store-bought artificially flavored creamers. 

How to Make Peppermint Rooibos Syrup and Mocha Sauce

Supply List:

  • Fine mesh sieve
  • Medium saucepan
  • Funnel
  • Glass bottles x2
  • Whisk

Ingredients for the Peppermint Rooibos Syrup:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2.5 tbsp.

Coffee Shop Innovation in 2022

These days, it’s tempting to pay attention to what’s trending. A memorable scene at the Oscars, the latest TikTok audio, and last night’s sports game churn up clicks and engagement. But trending isn’t built to last. Small businesses who find success–the kind that endures–are those who innovate.
