Make Your Own Mocha Chip Frappe

I'm probably the only person left who hadn't tried out ice cube coffee. The concept is simply enough: brew some really strong coffee, let it cool, pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze it to use in homemade ice coffee or fancy treats. This morning I made an easy Mocha Chip Frappe by blending together: 4 coffee ice cubes, 2 scoops chocolate ice cream, a small handful of chocolate chips and 1/3 cup milk. Next I'm going to try a vanilla version with caramel! Do you like making your own homemade coffee treats? Have a favorite you'd like to share? xo. Emma

Yum! Can't wait to try this out. Love the idea of freezing coffee.

Love the idea! I wanna do it with tea.

Em, have you ever tried cold brew? Same concept, just no chance of that awful burnt coffee taste. It's our summer staple.

I do!

Chocolate chip frappe is my favourite, but have you tried Baileys Milk Shake?

I don´t have the exact proportions now, but vanilla icecream, Icecubes, Bailieys (and I think a small amount of espresso and or sugar after taste)

btw: do you have tip for a good blender? I broke one making this milkshake... and need to get a new lid or just a new one.

You know what I used to do as a child? My grand father would buy me these soda pops in a variety of flavours (he would buy crates of it and they were in glass coca bottles). So in the summer I would get the hand blender and make "milkshakes". I would scoop vanilla ice cream in a bowl, add soda pop (orange crush, rootbeer or cream soda) and a whole lot of sugar (which it didn't even need of course) and make my fizzy "milkshakes". Grand pa would just stare at me and shake his head with a smile on his face.

wow, that's a pretty cool idea. I'd never heard of that either. sounds like a milkshake with a kick. they sell iced coffee in half gallon cartons now, but it scares me a little. i'd rather brew at home.

YUM!! I think it's time I try this :)

[Hammy Havoc]

Just made this, it is seriously delicious.

It's quite the concept to freeze coffee into ice cubes for ice coffee! I really like that idea - whenever I make ice coffee it always gets so watered down.
