Tingly with a refreshing mint flavor, this is the perfect way to use up leftover candy canes from your Christmas tree or the ones you were gifted in that odd holiday bag. Put them them in a kitchen towel and use the back of a pot to crush them before stirring them into the hot liquid. Add whipped cream and chopped up peppermint chocolate or chocolate shavings for a garnish. Use any kind of high-quality milk chocolate that you prefer.
