In the summer my go to drink seems to be an iced coffee or frappachino of some type, but going out to my local coffee shop each time I want one is expensive and full of effort and so I decided to try making my own using a recipe that one of my friends on twitter posted. This recipe is my take on that and is so simple to do and requires such easy to access ingredients that there's no reason not to try it!
You will need:
1 cup of double strength coffee
1/2-1 cup of milk (depending on how you like your coffee)
2 tsp of sugar
Ice (amount depending on the consistency you want, however more is probably better in my opinion)
Additional things you can use:
Chocolate syrup (makes a mocha flavour)
Whipped cream for topping
Sprinkles for topping
What you have to do:
1) Make your basic coffee, instead of leaving this to cool overnight you can just use cold water as this is easier and it tastes just as good. Then put this into your blender.
2) Measure out your milk and add this into the coffee mixture that you have put into the blender (if you're putting chocolate syrup in then just pour a heap of that in too).
3) Add the ice cubes (I usually use about 10 large ones but it depends how you want it).
4) Blend it all up until its of a smooth consistency.
5) Pour into a glass and top with any toppings you want.
6) Enjoy.
I hope this helps you and that you enjoy the recipe, I've also tried something new with creating a header style image for the post. Let me know what you think about it and how I can make it better!
