As most of you probably already know, Im a big coffee fan and I absolutely adore Starbucks Cappuccino’s!  For a 92% Savings, Im going to have to try this recipe!

 

Frappuccino ingredients: makes 2.5 cups (590 mL)

  • 1 cup double-strength Starbucks coffee OR 3/4 cup fresh espresso (cold)
  • 3/4 cup milk (low fat, 2%, whole or whatever)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (or to taste)
  • 2 cups ice
  • Secret ingredient: Pinch of xanthan gum OR 1 teaspoon dry pectin (keeps Frapp from separating)

I used to be addicted to the Venti sized Iced Chai Tea Latte’s at Starbucks. Each time I got one, it was an easy $4 per cup. $4 x 5 days a week is $20, not counting the gas to go there! Well, I started researching online how to make the same iced chai tea latte at home, and low and behold, I found that I could buy the Tazo chai tea latte concentrate for $3.84 per container at Walmart, then Walmart stopped carrying it, so I have to pay $3.99 per container at Target. One container makes about 4-5 venti sized glasses. All I have to do is pour half Tazo and half milk, spray whip cream if I want it and sprinkle with cinnamon powder. Total price $3.99 plus I usually have the milk already at home. That’s a huge savings!

I have seen recipes like this but the one I have says just one spray of Pam works as the emulsifier. It works…
