coffee frappuccino @ home

recipe @ home | iced coffee frappuccino | four ingredients

i tried an iced coffee frappuccino at the starbucks barnes & noble cafe, and it quickly became one of my top drinks to order — or rather make.

at over $5 a pop for the venti size, i forsook convenience for cost and moved to making my own vegan version at home. besides, now i can make myself this drink every single day — now that’s convenient.

recipe

ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups ice (made from filtered water)

• 1/2 cup brewed espresso (use two shots of espresso ground coffee beans)

• 1/2 cup soy milk, unsweetened

• 3 tablespoons maple syrup

instructions:

1. make the brewed espresso.

2. in a blender container, add the ice cubes, coffee, soy milk, and maple syrup. blend one time on the setting for frozen liquid items.

3. pour into your favorite large cup and enjoy.

i cannot justify paying over $5 for a drink that costs me roughly $1.30 to make at home, in about five minutes.

bonus tips:

• want to make a vanilla frappuccino? add some vanilla extract.

• want to make a chocolate frappuccino? add some vegan chocolate syrup — the same kind used for ice cream sundaes.
