Starbucks Frappuccino

Author: If you’re anything like me, you love an ice cold Starbucks Frappuccino but HATE having to pay nearly 3 buck for a 10 ounce bottle of the stuff. Have I got a recipe for you!
This won’t work unless you make super strong coffee. And it works best when said coffee is made with a French Press. But let’s move on. Make a pot of coffee double the amount of coffee you usually use.
When the coffee is ready, the mix ratio is 1/3 coffee to 2/3 milk. Since you’re making a whole pot of double strength coffee, let’s go ahead and make a gallon. (pennies on the dollar here people!) 1 gallon of whole milk. We’re going to use it’s container as the mixing vessel. Pour 1/3 of the milk into another container and stick it into the fridge for use later with whatever. Or, simply wait until 1/3 of the milk has been used.
Before you put the double strength coffee into the milk, add 1/4 cup sugar to it and mix until dissolved. Depending how sweet you like it, this amount is obviously adjustable. But for the first batch, we’re gonna go with 1/4 cup. Now add the coffee to your milk. Last ingredient is not really necessary, 2 tablespoons pectin. It makes it a bit thicker and helps to suspend the sugar. Use it or don’t, won’t effect the flavor at all. (You’ll find it in the isle with the baking goods) Put the cap on and shake real good. That’s all there is to it! A GALLON of Frappuccino for LESS than 3 bucks!
Secondary Recipe: 1/3 Kahlua to 2/3 Frappuccino, over ice. MY invention. I have not named it yet and will take all suggestions.
Toss out NO MORE left over coffee. Turn it into frappuccino. Just remember the mix ratio – 1/3 coffee, 2/3 mile, sugar to taste.
Big Fat Greek Wedding impersonation – “Frappuccino, it comes from de Greek you know? Frap, from de Greek ‘Frapicimo’ meaning coffee, and pucino, from de Greek ‘Pucinimos’ meaning extremely tasty. SO, there you go: Frappuccino!” B.F.G.W. is one of my wife and I’s favorite movies. Probably my favorite impersonation to do. (spot on too I might add) It looses something though in the written version… And FYI – There is NO Windex in this recipe!

For the standard recipe above I also like to add caramel or hersheys syrup from the ice cream isle…caramel or mocha fraps!
For the Kahlua recipe here’s a name…”AWESOME!”.
Actually, I HAD just woke up when I read that and was waiting on MY coffee to brew, so that must explain it. Same situation when I read your email about Ozzie lubing your ankle. LMAO!
Never mind!
You wrote: “Make a pot of coffee double the amount of coffee you usually use. The ratio is 1/3 coffee to 2/3 milk.” For a minute there, I thought you were making a pot of coffee using milk instead of water in your coffee maker, 1/3 coffee grounds to 2/3 milk. If that’s what it sounded like to me, others may make the same mistake. Might wanna clear that up for us slow people.
Have you seen the Keurig coffee brewing system? That’s the newest gadget I want for my kitchen (in case you happen to run into Santa).
Had you just woken up? I thought it was REALLY clear. Especially when you get to the “Add the coffee to the milk” part. Had you been drinking?
Any of you out there that mess this recipe by running MILK through your coffee maker and post chewing me out: Band for LIFE from this site.
Were you on some sort of medication???
