Once the mixture is hot but not boiling, remove it from the heat.
Stir in the peppermint extract and mix well.
Ladle the Mocha Mint Warmer into mugs.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies or chocolate shavings, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting warmth of this delightful beverage!
