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
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth glaze.
Step 2
Add the brewed coffee and peppermint extract to the bowl, and whisk the mixture until it begins to come together.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness, and whisk again to incorporate.
Step 5
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).
Step 6
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.
