Not for Kids Iced Peppermint Mocha

Submitted by Bergy

"This is a rich after dinner drink - I think of it as dessert - but you can make it lighter (but not as decadent or good) If you prefer a non alcoholic drink omit the brandy and add 1/2 tsp of vanilla to the whipped cream"

Enjoyed this, made it exactly as written, rich like you said, but the peppermint gave it a refreshing touch. This will be our Irish Coffee for the summer months!!
