Description
Break free from the green topless mermaid and save yourself some money at the same time. Make your own frappuccinos and mocha frappuccinos at home. Making these at home allows you the flexibility of controlling the amount of sugar, type of milk(s), and flavoring (therefore calories) to cater to whatever it is you’re craving.
Ingredients
- 1-½ cup Crushed Ice
- ¾ cups Milk
- 2 ounces, fluid Shots Of Espresso Or See Coffee Equivalent Below
- 3 Tablespoons Sugar, More Or Less To Taste
- ¼ cups Whipped Cream (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon Chocolate Syrup (optional)
Preparation
Blend all the ingredients except the whipped cream and chocolate syrup in a blender for 30-45 seconds. Pour into a tall glass and top off with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate syrup. Best served with a straw. Enjoy!
Note: if you don’t have an espresso machine, use 3/4 cup of double strength (strong) coffee mixed with 1/2 cup of milk and increased crushed iced amount by 1/4 cup.
MOCHA FRAPPUCCINO VARIATION:
Prepare everything the same way as a regular frappuccino (recipe above) except reduce sugar to 2 tablespoons and add 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup. Enjoy!
Other variations:
Use Splenda, flavored coffee syrups, or flavored coffee creamers for a portion of the milk. For a richer beverage, use half-and-half, or heavy cream for a portion of the milk.
