Start the week with a homemade Frappucino!

caramel_frappuccino.jpgThis yummy-licious recipe was passed along to me from a gal pal who's totally addicted to Frappucinos! She makes this syrup by the bottle and gives the bottles of syrup away as gifts as well...Starbucks watch out!!

PERCOLATOR METHOD: Fill percolator with about 6 cups of cold water; fill the basket with fresh coffee grounds. Percolate your coffee. Unplug the coffee pot and let the coffee cool. Patience is key here. When finally cool - remove the basket with coffee grounds. Empty out and add fresh coffee grounds to the basket. Do not remove the coffee in the percolator. Add the basket and percolate a second time. Repeat this procedure a total of three times.

DRIP COFFEE METHOD: Follow the above directions for a drip coffee maker, but refill the reservoir with the cooled down coffee solution instead of water.

After the 3x brewing your coffee solution will be really strong. Take 3 cups of the "super strong coffee" and add one capful of vanilla and 1 1/2 cups of sugar. Pour into a glass bottle when cooled and store in the fridge.

To use: Take about 2 oz. of the frappucino syrup per person, add a few ice cubes and about 7- 8 oz. of whole or skim milk (whichever you prefer). Whirl in the blender and enjoy. This is so yummy and refreshing on a hot day! It's also a great way to start a Monday or Tuesday as it were (blech).

To give as a gift. Pour into a nicely decorated glass bottle embellish the outside with a bow, ribbon, etc. and write the directions for use. Have a yummy day everyone!
