Frappuccino, the Way I Do It (Starbucks Copycat!)

alittlerayofsunshine's Note:

All it took was exam stress to create this. Tastes like starbucks, but much cheaper! To be honest, all the ingredient sizes are approximate...

• Total Time: 3 mins
• Prep Time: 2 mins
• Cook Time: 1 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 1

Yield: 1.0 drink

• 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
• 3 teaspoons hot cocoa mix (add more if you wish)
• 2 tablespoons hot water
• 2 teaspoons caramel sauce (Good Eats Dulce De Leche) or 2 teaspoons dulce de leche (Good Eats Dulce De Leche)
• ¾ cup skim milk (cold)

Directions:

1. combine the coffee granules and hot cocoa mix in a mug.
2. Add the hot water and stir to dissolve.
3. Stir in the Dulce De Leche or Caramel Sauce. Make sure it fully dissolves into the coffee!
4. Top with skim milk, stir once again, and drink.
5. You can chill it I guess, but I never do, it just goes straight down.
6. For aesthetics sake I guess you can strain out any undissolved bits, but I'm way too lazy :P.

This was pretty good. I used a 25 cal pkg of hot chocolate and sugar free carmel all for around 150 calories and no added sugar. I also added a full cup of skim milk instead of the 3/4c. It was a good pick me up for that mid. afternoon drag.

Loved it! This is a very clever sub for those pricey drinks! I will definitely email this to a few friends. Thanks for posting your creation!
