My take on the Starbucks Frappuccino

I started with the recipe from this recipe which makes a pretty good frappuccino. In fact, that recipe has more of a true coffee taste than Starbucks. However, according to Amy, it didn’t have enough chocolate (or enough ice, I thought). So, here’s what I did:

  • 3/4 cup double-strength coffee, cold
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup low-fat milk (or vanilla Silk works pretty well)
  • 3 cups ice
  • ~5 tablespoons chocolate syrup

For people with an AeroPress, you’ll want to do two presses to get the desired amount of coffee. I usually do my presses with two scoops of beans on a medium-fine grind and fill the water to right at the bottom of the funnel.

I think I’ll try doing the original recipe for the guys at work on Tuesday.
