Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 0.5 teaspoons Peppermint extract
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth glaze.
Add the brewed coffee and peppermint extract to the bowl, and whisk the mixture until it begins to come together.
Gradually add the milk, one teaspoon at a time, whisking after each addition until the glaze reaches your desired consistency. It should be pourable but not too runny.
Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness, and whisk again to incorporate.
Taste the glaze and adjust as needed. For a stronger mint flavor, add an additional drop of peppermint extract (be cautious, as it can be overpowering).
Use immediately to drizzle over your favorite baked goods or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Re-whisk before using if stored.
