slurp this
May 31, 2006 | Filed Under ordinary
the heat has made a headache of me. without coffee i want to cry, curl up and sleep for hours and hours and hours and hours. i am not myself, though the recent discovery of claritin has (along with the itching and sneezing and watering) removed the need for the heat of a coffee to clear my sinuses in the early morning haze.
it’s humid, it’s close to terrible. today there’s a “cool front” that is not really cold, but is not sticky as it has been.
the woolen rug is horrible underfoot. the couch is now draped in something cold for summer. the fans run and everything is heard through a whirr.
starbucks is a forty-five minute drive away, sadly, horribly, ridiculously. so i sought for a solution to my coffee addiction problem: a frozen and cold caramel frappuccino concoction to save the days from the monster inside this head.
though i found a few recipes on this googled page, here’s my own version.
caramel frappuccino for much less than $5:
1/3 c. really strong espresso, chilled
2 c. cubed ice; then crush, slush
3/4 c. lowfat milk
1/4 c. half & half
2.5 T. sugar, white, granulated
1/4 c. caramel syrup
crush ice in blender. add espresso, milk, half & half, sugar, and caramel. whirl. drool. pour into glasses (2). top with whipped cream. slurp through straw. repeat.

At first I thought you were saying you have coffee-withdrawl headaches. I thought, oh no, not Mollie too! Someone else abandoning coffee and leaving me with my addiction behind!
Your recipe looks yummy. Something I do during the summer is make an extra large pot of coffee in the morning, and then mix the remainder with milk and sugar and pop it in the freezer. In the afternoon, I can whir it in the blender (keeping the coffee from being diluted by added ice–not that it matters when you start with espresso–but we left our espresso maker in Kyiv, soooo. . .)
are you kidding? i hope to never give it up!
that sounds delicious..
need to work on finding my perfect iced brew.
oh, and our closest Starbucks is only 3 hours away. Makes me long for the days when it was only a 10 minute walk in 3 different directions.
i think the bat just wanted some brew…
