Thirsty Thursday: Homemade Coffee Frappe

Welcome to another week of Thirsty Thursday! We are big coffee lovers in the Sullivan house. I've been known to drink two cups of my beloved coffee in the morning, grab an iced coffee on the go (preferably from Peet's, but Starbucks will do just fine too) in the afternoon and then crave a cup in the evening too. It is most certainly a craving and not an addiction--I could easily be fine with just one cup a day, but I am so comforted by the tasty deliciousness of my cup 'o joe!

With Summer's hot hot days and evenings creeping closer I know I'll be yearning for my coffees, but I'll want to stay cool too. Buy a cappuccino or another blended coffee drink out isn't always in the budget, so I'm excited to have this new recipe in my arsenal of drinks! I'll be making many of these this summer!

To make the coffee ice cubes you'll need for this drink I made two strong cups of french roast using the Keurig and then poured the coffee into an ice cube tray and kept it in the freezer for a few hours.

Ingredients
10 cubes of extra-strong frozen coffee
1/2 cup low-fat milk
a handful of ice
whipped cream (optional)

Directions
1. Place all ingredients in the pitcher of your blender and blend until ice is smooth and all ingredients are well mixed.

2. Pour into a glass, top with whipped cream and ENJOY!

I noticed that the drink settles quickly, so be prepared to stir it a little or just drink it quickly! I think thsi would also be great with a splash of your favorite coffee creamer too! My current favorite is International Delight Caramel Macchiato. 

What's your favorite coffee drink? How do you drink your coffee? Are you a 2+ cups a day person like me?
