freakacino

When we were young, we all thought that the Starbucks caffine fixer was called a Freakacino. So here is a fantastic recipie to make your very own Freakacino.

You Will Need to Buy...
-Coffee (preferrably chilled)
-Ice
-A blender of some sort
Optional
-
Milk
-Fun mix-ins! Simple syrups (Torani is my brand), chocolate syrup for mocha, ice cream, whatever
-Chantilly (whipped cream) for the top
-Sprankles

1. Gather your stuff.

2. Put ice in the blender. I use something called a Magic Bullet, one of those As Seen on TV things that actually is awesome.

3. Pour in the coffee. I like to always keep some coffee chilling in my refrigerator simply for this purpose. Pour in the milk, amount depending on how creamy you like it, unless you are using ice cream. Kids, what is ice cream made of? Exactly.

4. Add in your stuff. For this test, I used Sugar Free Hazelnut Torani Syrup and Lite Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. I always use the sugar free Torani and the lite Hershey's. It makes me feel healthy. But when that stuff is nowhere near, I use ice cream and don't use milk.

5. Blend that sucker up.

6. Test it. Fix it, blend again, if not perfect.

7. Spray on your chantilly/whipped cream and add the sprankles on top.

8. Slluuuurp. Isn't that better than a stupid Frappacino?

PICTURES. (in no order, really. Blogger picture posting sucks.)

My finished product. With pink sprankles.

Pre-chantillysprankles.

The barest of ingreedients.

Add-ins- Torani syrup, Hershey's syrup, 2% milk... who needs coffee?

Chantilly is better when it comes from a red bottle.

yum that looks so good! i think you should put eyes on it though! you could make a whole new restaurant by just selling regular food but everything has EYES!!! and by the way, you can cut and past pictures when you're composing your blog.. just do ctrl+x and ctrl+v with your cursor in the right spot, it's weird how blogger posts pictures in reverse order not based on where the cursor is, but cutting and pasting fixes that!!!
