YUMMIEST ICED COFFEE (LIKE BOTTLED FRAPPUCCINO)



Yummiest Iced Coffee (Like Bottled Frappuccino) image

This is very similar to Starbuck's Frappucino that you get in the bottle versus the frozen drink or iced version you would get at the store. This really hits the spot on a hot day. I usually make this in a 24 oz glass with the tablespoons heaping, so you may need to adjust measurements depending on your glass size. If you prefer a caramel flavored coffee, use the caramel topping and leave out the sugar. The evaporated milk makes it taste more like a Frappucino, which does have a distinct evaporated milk taste, but it's still great without it and we often make it this way when we want something a bit lighter or don't have evaporated milk on hand.
