Mint Mojito Coffee

INGREDIENTS 

• 12 ounces strong brewed coffee
• 10 fresh mint leaves plus 1 for garnish
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar or white sugar or honey
• 1 cup coffee ice cubes or regular ice cubes
• Splash of half-and-half to taste

INSTRUCTIONS 

• Brew your coffee. Make it a little stronger than usual for the best flavor. You can use any brewing method, from drip machines to pour-overs.
• Add the brown sugar into your hot coffee and stir until it dissolves. Then let the coffee cool for a few minutes.
• Add the mint leaves and half-and-half to your cocktail shaker. Muddle the leaves a little with your spoon, releasing the delicious oils but not reducing the leaves to shreds.
• Pour the ice cubes and sweetened coffee into the shaker. We like to use coffee ice cubes (frozen cubes of leftover coffee) for a stronger drink. Shake until the drink is well combined and frothy.
• Pour your mint mojito coffee into a tall glass. Top with another mint leaf and enjoy your sweet treat!
