Frosty Mocha


I'm getting ready to head out of town for a visit with my parents, sister and nephew, but I thought I'd post this before leaving! I'm very much addicted to coffee, but when it's 90+ degrees out, it's sometimes hard to get psyched to drink a hot beverage. This drink is perfect...and certainly a lot cheaper than going to Starbucks or even McDonald's, for that matter!!! The only suggestion I would make is to serve it with whipped cream on top...that would make for a much prettier presentation :)

Frosty Mocha

1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup chocolate-flavored syrup
2 tablespoons instant malted milk powder, if desired
2 tablespoons instant coffee (dry)
3 1/2 cups small ice cubes

Directions:

In a blender container, place all ingredients except ice; blend until well mixed. Add ice cubes a few at a time, blending well after each addition until smooth.

    Looks delicious! I am a Starbucks lover, but don't go often because of the pricey drinks, so this is great! Thanks!
    Have a safe trip.

    Yummy! What a great idea. I need to replace my blender. The motor went out in a blaze of glory a while back. I'd love to make one of these.

    Have a fun visit with your family!

    Oh, and thanks again! I got my magazine a few days ago.
