I am interested in making a knockoff of Starbucks Frappuccino for my teenage girls. They won't eat breakfast, but (go figure) will grab a bottle out of the frig and drink at least part of a Starbucks. Since they're made with skim milk and not cream, albeit too much sugar, I am resigned that the protein and calcium is still better than an empty stomach. But at $5 or more per 4-pack, I need to concoct my own version to keep on hand.
I always have fresh roasted beans and use a French Press for my own coffee, although I do have a "brew 'n go" I could employ to minimize the "body" in this mixed version. I am wondering if anybody has tried this ... I'm stumped on the ratio of coffee to milk to fill a 2-quart pitcher so it doesn't have to be made daily. If it's not ready, they won't bother!
I did search a couple of iced coffee threads and found one with sweetened condensed milk, but we want to add a bit of Starbucks caramel flavoring, which is plenty sweet without the condensed milk.
I'd love to hear your suggestions ...
