Fake a Starbucks Frappucino

A recipe I got from Glamour magazine, April 2002

Fake a Starbucks Frappucino

Glory hallelujah! Someone-specifically food investigaor Todd Wilbur -- had re-created the coffee chain's addictive formula. Here it is, from his new book "Top Secret Recipes: Sodas, Smoothies, Spirits, & Shakes" (Plume):

To make 2 "grande" drinks, blend 3/4 cup cold double-strength coffee (brewed with twice the beans your machine requires), 1 cup low-fat milk, 3 tbsp granulated sugar and 2 cups ice in a blender on high speed until ice is crushed and drink is silky smooth. Serve with a straw.

--------------------------------

(ingredients listed in a better way for the Jodi-method)

3/4 C cold strong coffee
1 C lowfat milk
3 T sugar
2 C ice
