Aurora Frost Mint Cocoa

**Ingredients**
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- A drop of blue food coloring (optional, for a frosty hue)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Edible glitter or shimmering sprinkles (for garnish)
- Crushed candy canes (optional, for garnish)

**Instructions**

1. **Heat the Milk Base**:
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm (do not let it boil).

2. **Melt the White Chocolate**:
Add the white chocolate chips to the saucepan and stir until fully melted and smooth.

3. **Add Flavor and Color**:
Stir in the sugar (if needed), vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and a drop of blue food coloring. Mix until evenly combined and velvety.

4. **Serve**:
Pour the mint cocoa into your favorite festive mugs.

5. **Top It Off**:
Add a generous swirl of whipped cream on top. Sprinkle with edible glitter or shimmering sprinkles to capture the magical glow of the northern lights. For an extra touch, sprinkle crushed candy canes over the whipped cream.

**Tips**
- **Layered Effect**: For a stunning presentation, layer a small amount of plain white cocoa on top of the blue for a frosty, ombre effect.
- **Extra Glow**: Use glow-in-the-dark or iridescent edible sprinkles for an enchanting look under party lights.
- **Boozy Option**: Add a splash of peppermint schnapps or crème de menthe for an adult twist.
