Jul. 10, 2007 - Iced mocha cappuccino

I love coffee. Winter, spring, summer or fall...it doesn't matter. It may take on a different form, but it must be coffee nonetheless. I figure I could have many vices much worse than caffeine. Did you sense a bit of rationalization there?

Though I adore Starbucks Frappuccinos, my wallet does not. Here's a yummy alternative.

1 T. chocolate syrup
1 cup double espresso or very strong coffee, hot
1/4 cup half and half
4 ice cubes

1. Stir the chocolate syrup into the hot coffee until melted.
2. In a blender, combine the coffee with the half and half and ice cubes.
3. Blend at high speed for 2-3 minutes.
4. Consume immediately while lounging by your pool. OK, at least sit back and relax while watching your kids play on the slip-n-slide.

I love starbucks but the calories stop me more than the money. Ill have to try your recipe though. Yes I have family in Parma and Fruitland Idaho. I cant imagine a move to Texas! I live in Oregon where everything is mild as you know! I use to live for a short time In Missisissippi so I know what you mean about the torrents of rain down there! I am a native Oregonian and I really think this is where I'll stay!

Come visit my blog again and lets get aquainted.

Okay, I'm so going to try this. I too suffer Frappuccino addiction - what's worse is that I am diabetic! Argh! Thus, I will use my sugar free items in your recipe. I bet I'll be smilin' later!

Thanks so much for sharing!

I popped over from Mrs Darling's site and thought I'd say howdy! I read where you have recently moved to the Lone Star State and I wanted to welcome you. I'm a transplant myself, having moved here to North Texas 14 years ago. My hubby works for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe RR so his job has moved us around a bit. However, it looks like we're here until retirement in about 10 years. We're looking to build a cabin out West in Montana, Wyoming or Idaho! Feel free to visit me at:

So -- if I only have Folgers instant coffee -- how much is considered STRONG? ;)

**wondering if there is such a thing as SF chocolate syrup?**

This sounds delish!!! I'm going to figure a way to make this... going to!

THANKS for sharing!!
