Frappuccino // Pinterest

I am a total coffee addict. Really, I am.
I could drink Caribou coffee all day long.. BOGO days are what I go to bed at 8p for, just so I can get up and be the first one in line.

I've been looking for good recipes to try online for making a delicious cooler or frappuccino. I found this recipe via Pinterest.

Ingredients:
-1 cup double-strength Starbucks coffee OR 3/4 cup fresh espresso (cold)
-3/4 cup milk (your preference!)
-3 tablespoons granulated sugar (or to taste)
-2 cups ice
-Secret ingredient: Pinch of xanthan gum OR 1 teaspoon dry pectin (keeps Frapp from separating)

Mix all ingredients together and blend. Add toppings of choice and enjoy!

I didn't have any of the xanthaniumonium gum or whatever, but it was still good.
Next time I make one, which will more than likely be today, I won't add so much sugar. I failed a little and tried cutting the recipe in half because I didn't believe all the stuff would fit in the bullet! Those are deceivingly spacious! I'm pretty sure that when I tried to add more, it just went wrong and I over-did it. I changed it a little by adding vanilla syrup. I didn't have any toppings, but maybe it'll be a good excuse to keep whipped cream in the house! Like I said, I used the magic bullet, which I found out is amazing! It's my roommates, so I had never used it before. It took only a few seconds to make. I felt so proud. I put my drink in my Sonic the Hedgehog tumbler and left the house happily!
