How to Make a Coffee Frappe

If you've got some coffee left over from breakfast, save it to make sweet, refreshing frappes later on. Yours just might be as good as that ubiquitous Seattle-based coffee chain's. Serves one.

Things You'll Need

• Blenders
• Large Glass
• 1/3 c. whole milk
• 1 c. cubed ice
• 1 to 2 tsp. sugars
• 2 tbsp. vanilla ice cream
• 2/3 c. strong coffees

Instructions

1. Prepare 2/3 c. strong coffee.

2. 

   While the coffee is still warm, add 1 tsp. sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved.

3. 

   Add 1/3 c. milk and stir.

4. 

   Place 1/2 c. ice in blender and add sweetened coffee.

5. Turn the blender on and off quickly a few times to break up the ice.

6. 

   Add 2 tbsp. vanilla ice cream. Turn blender on to Medium and blend.

7. 

   After the coffee and ice have blended, add another 1/2 c. ice.

8. Blend until smooth. If you want a thicker frappe, add a little more ice.

9. 

   Pour into large glass and serve immediately.
