Starbucks-style Frappuccino

makes 2 grande (16 oz each)

• 3 cups ice
• 1 1/2 Tbs. instant coffee - I use decaf. A good national brand tastes best, but even the cheap stuff will make you regret you ever paid $4 for a frap.
• 3 Tbs. granulated sugar
• 2 cups milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/4 cup heavy cream - Not strictly necessary, but makes it even yummier. Try this at your own risk.

Blend til smooth and enjoy. Drink with a straw.

Remember to share, because this was 2 large servings.

options:

1. Mocha: add 2 Tbs. of unsweetened cocoa powder.
2. Java Chip: blend in chocolate chips
3. Caramel Macchiato: replace the sugar with a 1/3 cup of caramel sauce.
4. Get really fancy and top it with real whipped cream.
5. Try drinking it all yourself.
