Steps:
- To the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and salt and beat for 1 minute on medium-high speed.
- Add 3 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, milk, peppermint, and beat on medium-low speed until a dough forms. If the dough seems wet, add additional confectioners' sugar until dough combines (I use 3 1/2 cups sugar). The dough will be crumbly but will come together when pinched and squeezed into a ball.
- Taste the batter. If you want a more intense mint flavor, add additional mint extract, to taste (see note below).
- Remove dough from the mixer, separate it into 1 to 4 smaller balls, and add one ball back into the mixer. Add the food coloring of your choice to the ball by squirting the droplets on top of the dough (careful when you turn on the mixer), and paddle on low speed until coloring is well-blended. Coloring will not blend completely into each and every speck of dough if examined extremely closely, but overall, mix until color is uniform. (I separated approximately two-thirds of the dough and made it green using about 15 drops green food coloring and made one-third of the dough red-pink by using about 7 drops red food coloring).
- Wash the mixing bowl and the paddle in between each color change and repeat until all the balls are colored.
- After the dough has been colored, either wrap it with plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator to be rolled out later or roll it immediately.
- To shape the butter mints, place a golf-ball sized amount of dough in your hands and roll dough into long thin cylinders about 1 centimeter wide. Place cylinders on countertop and with a pizza cutter (or knife - be careful of your counter), slice cylinders into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 centimeter long.
- Store mints in an airtight container in the refrigerator where they will keep for many weeks.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Mint Leaves: Fresh mint leaves deliver the best flavor and aroma; avoid dried or wilted leaves.
- Brew Coffee Strong: Since you'll be adding milk and syrup, brew your coffee a bit stronger than usual to ensure a bold flavor.
- Homemade Simple Syrup: Making simple syrup at home is easy and economical; combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer until the sugar dissolves. Then let it cool completely before using.
- Adjust Sweetness: Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your preferred sweetness level. Start with a small amount and gradually add more until you reach the desired taste.
- Whole Milk for Creaminess: Whole milk provides a rich and creamy texture to the coffee; however, you can use your milk of choice based on dietary preferences.
- Garnish with Mint Sprig: Top each cup of coffee with a fresh mint sprig for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
- Experiment with Variations: Feel free to experiment with different sweeteners like honey or maple syrup, or try various types of milk alternatives like almond or oat milk.
