One tall Mocha Frappuccino Please

Today I asked one of our friends for his recommendation on a nice cup of coffee, he told me Mocha Frappuccino from Starbucks. I asked him to describe it, and asked me back “You havent had Mocha Frappuccino as yet!!!!!!!!!!”

I got interested, and thought let me give it a try to see what he was making such a big deal about it!

The smallest size (they call it tall, dont know why, it is not even logical, it is their smallest size) and $3.5 for this size.

I waited for a couple of minutes, and guess what it tasted like!!!! In India, we make cold coffee (from instant coffee). Thats it, Mocha Frappuccino is nothing but a small glass of cold coffee blended with a little chocolate syrup, topped with a whipped cream!

So do you want to see how we make Mocha Frappuccinos a.k.a Cold Coffee in India?

Ingredients:
1 cup cold milk, (whole milk being the best choice, but non fat milk will also work as well)
1 tsp instant coffee
1 tsp or more sugar
1-2 tsp chocolate syrup (like Hershey’s)
whipped cream (using a can, will give you your desired style/from a box, just put a dollop over the coffee at the end)

In a blender, combine the first four ingredients listed. Blend it. Pour it in a nice fancy tall glass, then finally top it with whipped cream. Put in a fancy straw and serve chilled!

Howwzat?????

Note: you can sprinkle cinnamon powder/cocoa powder over the whipped cream.
