Make your own iced frappe

I’m such a sucker for take out coffee. The oodles of choice, the various sizes, the sheer convenience… everything, well almost everything. What I’m not a fan of? The way it’s drilling a hole in my bank account. So I’ve cut back on the amount of Costa, Starbucks and Caffe Nero coffee I consume, after all I can make it at home and work for a lot lot less. But you know what you can’t make at home? Those delicious ice coffee frappes… *drools onto keyboard*

The other day on my self-designated lunchbreak whilst working from home it was pissing down way too much to leave the house, but I really fancied an ice frappe but not enough to venture outside, obvs. So I thought how hard can it really be to whip one up at home? Turns out it’s not. In fact it’s super easy. Simply throw the following ingredients into a blender or Nutribullet et voila!

Coffee – two teaspoons of strong instant coffee

Sugar – two teaspoon

A dash of cinnamon

Cocoa powder – one teaspoon

Mix the above with 1/2 cup of milk prior to blending.

Fill your blender with a cup of ice, then pour in the coffee mix and blitz until smooth!

Genuinely, it’s that easy!
