- 0.5 cup Whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peppermint candies (for garnish)

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for a minute or two to enhance the flavors.
Pour the drink evenly into 4 serving glasses or mugs.
Top each glass with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Garnish with crushed peppermint candies and chocolate shavings for a festive touch.
