Frilly espresso beverages have changed from luxury to daily compulsion for us affluent Americans. Maybe one of the most requested beverages in coffee venues all over the United States is the Caramel Frappuccino. But just consider, a medium Frappuccino can set you back $4 to $5! At such prices, your java habit can add severe financial strain! To save you from both tasteless java and diminished amount of cash in your bank account, here are quick and easy directions for creating your favorite Caramel Frappuccino.
You will need:
1/2 cup of powerful fresh coffee
Same amount of milk
3 tablespoons of sugar
2 cups of cubed or crushed ice
3 tbsp of caramel syrup
Whipped topping
Start by brewing your coffee in your regular coffee maker. But, make the brew about a third more powerful than you typically enjoy it. Caf Frappuccinos are made with espresso, and putting it over ice will thin the taste.
Now, pour the brew into a blender. Mix in the milk, the sugar, ice cubes, and the syrup. The caramel you enjoy to top off your ice cream sundaes will do the trick wonderfully. Now, blend the ingredients until you get about the same density as a milk shake.
Pour the blend into a your favorite drinking vessel and top with the whipped topping. Wow! You have created your individualized gourmet Caramel Frappuccino!
The biggest of the benefits of creating your Caramel Frappuccinos on your own, other than the money you will save, is that you're now able to vary the ingredients to suit your taste. If you usually prefer a stronger coffee taste, make the coffee stronger. You will not want to merely add more weak coffee into the beverage, because that will water down your drink. You may want to reduce the sugar or use non-fat milk as opposed to the 3.5% milk most coffee houses use.
Yet another idea is to make your java beverages in advance. If you can't find time to brew your Frappuccino in the morning before you attend to your job, you can brew the coffee at night. Simply blend the mixture without the ice, then put it in the refrigerator until you want it. Before you leave for work, pour the beverage over the ice cubes. The consistency won't be the same, but the taste should remain!
Practice mixing your own Caramel Frappuccinos on your own, and may not ever have the urge to frequent another coffee shop for your addiction!
