I broke down and bought a coffee maker.

I have a new love in my life. And it's called a frozen frappuccino.

I don't put in the sugar. Too sweet...and not exactly the lowest calorie thing you could drink.

Could try using a sugar sub instead. I'm going to try it this weekend.

Ha! I was going to put in my original post that I used to think that coffee was reserved for old people and your parents.

Now, what does that make me? 😕 😀
 
The secret to Starbucks frap mix is pectin. And they use espresso, not coffee.

4 shots of espresso
1/4 cup of white sugar - - it is best to mix the sugar in with hot espresso to ensure that the sugar dissolves (see notes on sugar substitues below)
2.5 cups of either whole or 2% milk -- 1% milk works, but it doesn't result in as rich of a drink
1 tablespoon of pectin
At least 2 cups of ice - - that's about 1 cup of ice per drink serving, depending on your blender

Pectin is a thickening agent. Although it is a naturally-occurring gum found in fruit, it is sold in either a (white) powder or liquid form. It is usually used when canning fruit, thus it can be found with canning supplies. Powdered pectin is available more readily than liquid pectin. I was unable to locate the liquid pectin, so I used powdered and it worked fine. I didn't find any difference between powdered brands once they were added to the drink mixture, and a box of a powdered pectin agent will cost you less than a dollar. Arrowroot costs a little more but can be substituted; arrowroot will be found in the spice isle at the grocery store. Just don't try to use corn starch, gelatin, or flour. And if you're not interested in having the drink approximate the store-bought drink, you can skip it altogether.

 
Dude, I swear you were gonna say "I bought a MAC."

Hahah!!! congrats on your new caffienne addiction.


[yoda] Mmmm. In time, the coffee leads to shaking, the shaking to more coffee, more coffee to hypertension, hypertension to shotgunning store employee when they run out of the coffee...in time, coffee will consume you, it will![/yoda]

I always use decaf. If not, I skip all those steps and go directly to shotgunning people.

Thanks for the recipe!
 
If you don't have an espresso machine, you can make an espresso substitute by making your coffee, and then rebrewing the same coffee through the same grounds. 😀
 
i thought this was the thread where you'd announce your newfound passion for emacs
