Now that it’s getting warm outside I prefer cool drinks. Hot coffee for the morning commute isn’t as appealing as a nice cool Frappuccino. Unfortunately, a few of those per week can destroy anyone’s budget.
With this recipe you can create one at home for a fraction of the cost. And it will taste like the original.
Ingredients
½ cup espresso (I used Starbucks Italian Roast beans)
2½ cups lowfat milk (2 percent)
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pectin (optional)
Preparation
Stir sugar into espresso. Add pectin and milk, stirring until the pectin is dissolved. Pour over ice and serve. It can also be blended for 30 seconds for a smoother drink.
The pectin is optional. It does not change the taste. It will make the drink thicker and it give it the consistency of the original. Pectin can be found in the grocery store near the canning supplies.
