Peppermint Mocha Puppuccino – Goat’s Milk with Carob and Mint

This Peppermint Mocha Puppuccino is a pet-friendly version of the favorite holiday drink. Made with goat’s milk, peppermint and carob (caffeine-free). I like to savor my coffees, one sip at a time. Kili, on the other hand, didn’t stop lapping until she was at the bottom of her mug.

If there’s one thing I can’t wait to do, it’s ordering a babyccino at a coffee shop. It was always one of the highlights of my day when I was working as a barista to have a parent come in with their little one and then the little one puts her hands on the counter, peers over as much as she can (I don’t know why barista counters are always so tall), and orders a babyccino.

For the uninitiated, a babyccino is just warm milk with a dash of cocoa powder on top.

Then I heard from my friend recently that she went to a cafe which served PUPPUCCINO’s (puppy-ccinos).

A Puppuccino recipe that your dog will lap up

I can’t tell whether that’s super bizarre or super cute, but I loved the idea. Since it’s Christmas and I’m all about the peppermint mochas, I decided to show Kili a taste of the holidays with this Peppermint Mocha Puppuccino.

There’s no actual coffee in this recipe (don’t worry), and it’s made with carob instead of cocoa (the dog-safe version of chocolate).

How to make a puppuccino

Technically, that makes this a Peppermint Hot Carob. But that didn’t sound lipsmacking enough to Kili, so we’ve just called it a Peppermint Mocha Puppuccino.

To make a puppuccino, you simply need to warm up some dog friendly goat’s milk, steep some fresh mint, and mix in some carob powder. You can find various brands of dog friendly goat’s milk, so pick one that is suitable for dog.

She didn’t quite know how to drink out of a mug at first, but once I showed her how to dunk her biscuit into the Peppermint Mocha Puppuccino, and she had a taste of her biscuit, she wouldn’t stop lapping up her puppuccino.

Treat your dog to this puppuccino recipe
