Frozen Coffee Drinks
Posted by scottparat on 11 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Coffee Recipe
Starbucks has something they call a “FRAPUCCINO” remember this is a registered name so what I make is simply “My Frozen Coffee” This recipe for a drink costs me about $0.38 for a 40 oz blender full. A bit of a difference when 16 oz at Starbucks set me back $4.50 plus the expected tip and I don’t have a clue what the heck was in that foil box that came out from under the cabinet… So here is my own tried and true recipe.
The measurments are to taste that you prefer over time there is no order to the mixture:
1. from my ice dispenser 1 20 oz travel cup of ice. Just dump it in your Kitchen-aid counter top blender.
2. About 8 oz plain or vanilla yogurt. I buy it in a 32 oz carton.
3. 2 or 3 teaspoons of Vanilla Extract
4. A good hard squeeze of Honey from one of those bear shapped plastic thingys with the pop top.
5. 1 or 2 packets of water soluable cocoa or an equivalent for a box of powder.
6. 1 or 2 scoops of Instant Coffee crystals
7. Just enough milk to make the blender take up the challenge and mix it well when you turn the thing on Liquify.
There is no secret to the mixture in what to add first. If you want some protein add a whole egg. If you want Ice Cream use less milk. If you want a zip and a zing add a shot of Caffee Lolita Coffee Liqure. If you are diabetic well you know what to do in that case.

STARBUCK’S FROZEN FRAPPUCCINO
The Frappuccino is blended with strong coffee, sugar, a dairy base, and ice.
Make double-strength coffee by measuring 2 tablespoons of ground coffee
per cup (serving) in your coffee maker. The copy will be even more authentic
if you use Starbucks beans and grind them yourself just before brewing.
Coffee
3/4 cup double-strength coffee, cold
1 cup low-fat milk
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 cups ice
1. Make double-strength coffee by brewing with twice the coffee required by
your coffee maker. That should be 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per each cup
of coffee. Chill before using.
2. To make the drink, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high
speed until ice is crushed and drink is smooth. Pour into two 16-ounce glasses, and
serve with a straw.
Makes 2 large drinks.
Caramel
For this, add 3 tablespoons of caramel topping to the original recipe above and
prepare as described. Top each glass with whipped cream and drizzle additional
caramel over the whipped cream.
Mocha
For this version, add 3 tablespoons Hershey’s chocolate syrup to the original
recipe and prepare as described. Top each glass with whipped cream if desired
That should be enough to keep you busy for a while
