Like many, my favorite coffee is Starbucks. ANY Starbucks. Frappuccinos, Lattes, Iced or Hot... it doesn't matter. But i can't afford it so i've started mixing up my own concoctions at home. 
My latest recipe is this:
Crush 5 or 6 ice cubes (in blender). Add to crushed ice, 1 cup of milk, or a little less (i use skim milk, but most like 1 or 2 percent because it's creamier). Blend. Add in hot coffee. I use Starbucks espresso brewed coffee. Blend again. The hot coffee will melt some of the ice. I like to add in cappuccino powder mix, about 2 tablespoons. Then, for a nice touch, some caramel cream. Blend all together. If you like it slushier, add and blend in more ice. For a smooth, iced coffee-ish thing, don't add any more ice.
Mmmmm, it's soooo good. Does anyone else like to mix up their own drinks at home (coffee drinks, not alcohol, lol)? | i love hot choclate with two sugars and whipped cream  |
