Main Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cold coffee
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 3 to 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups ice
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Brew 1 cup of coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature to avoid melting the ice too quickly when blended.
- Mix Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, combine the milk, cooled coffee, molasses, brown sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Blend on low speed for a few seconds just until the ingredients are combined.
- Add Ice and Blend: Add 4 cups of ice cubes to the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
- Serve: Pour the frappe into glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, top with whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar used.
- Using a high-powered blender ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
- Whipped cream topping is optional but adds a creamy richness to the frappe.
- Make sure the coffee is fully cooled to prevent dilution of flavor when blending with ice.
