One of the favorite drinks here at our house to cool off in the summer has been a homemade iced frappuccino recipe, adapted from http://www.squawkfox.com/frappuccino-recipe/. Low carb, low calorie, ice cold, and an delicious way to beat the heat!
Ingredients (serves 2):
1/2 cup chilled strong brewed coffee, OR 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules dissolved in 1/2 cup cold water
(I always use decaf, but regular oughta be just fine as well. Room temperature coffee works too, but you may wish to add a little more ice.)
1/2 cup milk
(Organic is always a bonus to me! I'm guessing many non-dairy milk alternatives would work great as well, though I've not tried any yet.)
1 1/2 stevia packets
(I enjoy the Simple Truth Organic brand, found at Dillon's)
1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum
(The secret ingredient! It really is way better with this! It keeps the coffee and ice from separating, that way you're not left with a cup full of plain tasting slushie in the end. It was about $10 for the bag of Bob's Red Mill brand, but with the amount you'd use at a time it lasts. for. ever. Especially if you transfer it to a jar before storing in the cupboard to keep it at its freshest.)
5-6 ice cubes, less if you like a frothier drink (Our ice cubes weigh about 24g each)
Directions:
In a quart Mason jar, stir together all ingredients except for the xanthan gum and ice. Once thoroughly mixed (it may take longer when using instant coffee), continue stirring while you slowly sprinkle in the xanthan gum (this keeps the xanthan gum from clumping). Pour over ice cubes in blender, and blend on high until ice cubes are thoroughly crushed (you may have to stop in between and give it a slight stir with a wooden spoon). Pour into glasses and find someone to share and enjoy with! If desired, top with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
