If you are a coffee addict, you will definitely love this recipe. Buying from your local coffee shop can get pretty pricey, so I came up with a way where you can buy the essentials and have coffee without breaking your wallet. The next time you are having a girl’s night in, make this and you will impress everyone for sure!
*this recipe serves 2
Ingredients:
1 cup of ice
Caramel syrup (optional)
5 tbsp caramel coffee syrup (I am using Archer Farms but any brand works)
Whipped cream (optional)
¾ cup of instant coffee
1 tbsp of condensed milk (for a creamy consistency)
Splash of 2% milk
1) To start off, brew about ¾ cups of Starbuck’s dark roast instant coffee (each package of instant coffee requires 1 cup of water, however, I like my coffee strong so I used about ¾ cups of water). Do make sure that the coffee is chilled for about 15-20 minutes before making the drink.
2) Once the instant coffee is chilled, take a blender and add the coffee, caramel coffee syrup, condensed milk, a splash of milk, and ice (if you like your drink thicker, add more ice cubes).
3) Pour the content into a nice mug, garnish with whip cream and the caramel drizzle, and you just made yourself the best caramel Frappuccino right at home!
Note: Compared to the original Starbuck’s Caramel Frap, this recipe makes for a stronger coffee flavor. If you like your drinks on the sweeter side, I recommend adding more condense milk or sweetening your coffee mixture before adding to the blender.
