2 c Milk
3 t instant coffee
1/8 c sugar (approximately)
1-2 t vanilla
Ice cubes
In a blender mix the milk, coffee, sugar and vanilla together, then blend in enough ice cubes to make it kind of like a slushy type thing.
I realize that it might still be a little cold for these in Michigan, but who cares... they taste good! I don't really have any proportions for these... I just kind of wing it every time, but they've been really popular here! They're great when you want some caffeine, but you don't want to drink a nice hot cup of coffee =). They look really schnazzy if you garnish them with cinnamon!

OK. I am sipping my frappuccino as I type and... MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm!!! :) Great recipe, Anna! I mixed it like you said and it was wonderful, but then I squirted in a bit of caramel (pronounced CARE-a-mel :D) ice cream topping syrup stuff, and WOW!! Very delicious :). Only one problem... heh heh... it makes a little more than one person should drink alone, and I don't want Titus all hyped up on caffeine! :) Guess I'll see how it is after all the ice has melted into it later (or tomorrow) :).
Anna! Don't even tempt us with this stuff! I guess I'll be throwing this together some warm Saturday morning for a work day "energy boost". Yum! If it weren't cold now...

PS Did you know that we have EIGHT coffee lovers in this house!?! That is crazy!
Yum! This was perfect for today. James said he needed a kick to get get going, and we were all hot and droopy after lifewalk. As I predicted, all 8 of us loved it!

Is it OK if I put a picture on this, Anna?
We really put this recipe to work over the summer. We tried about 400 (give or take 393) flavors. Good stuff no matter how you mess with it!

Looks great, Becky! I don't know why I didn't think of putting a picture on here!
PS. Over the summer I tried making it with some of the flavored coffee creamer, and it came out super super good! The only problem being that I can get that kind of thing around here =P.
