Homemade Frappe Mix Recipe

I admit it.  I am in love with icy mixes of delicious coffee and cocoa.  I use to pick one up when I went to town, even though I knew they were full of awful syrups and who knows what else.

Not only did I not know what I was consuming, it was expensive!  A small frappe, iced capp, etc. can run $2.50-$5 a piece depending on where you buy it.  I was tired of the whole thing, so I decided to play with a recipe of my own.  It took a little trial and error, but I’ve ended up with a recipe that I think is the bees knees.  I actually prefer it over buying one at any place I’ve tried them (no more corn syrup flavor!).  The mix does contain creamer, and I know it’s not the most healthy thing in the world but it’s a small amount and well, I’m shamefully addicted.

I won’t make you wait any longer.  This is my delicious iced capp/frappe recipe.  If you try it out, I’d love to hear what you think and/or how you like to use the mix!

Also, if you’re like me and miss the feel of one of those great cups in your hand, try out a reusable cold cup like this one!  I have two and just love them.

Ingredients
  1. 1/2 c instant coffee (adjust to taste) (don't do caffeine? use decaf!)
  2. 1 cup sugar
  3. 1 cup non-fat dry milk powder (one package)
  4. 1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
  5. 1/3 cup baking cocoa (adjust to taste)
  6. 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Mix all ingredients together well (I like to dump them all in my food processor to mix well).
  2. If you like a stronger/weaker coffee or mocha flavor, adjust those two ingredients accordingly.
  3. Stores perfectly in a 1 quart jar for up to a year.
To make a perfect frappe/iced capp.
  1. 1 1/2 cup crushed ice + 1/3 cup mocha mix + 1/4 cup water + 1/4 cup milk = Bliss
  2. I like to toss my crushed ice into my food processor first and blend until it looks a bit like snow, add mix & water, process until well blended and then add in my milk. I blend just until it's mixed (7-10 seconds).
