I have come to the sacred mountains of Juan Valdez seeking the truth and wisdom that has been passed down the generations of coffee gurus. Oh Caffinated One, my quest has been to find the true recipe for a Starbuck’s Mocha Frappuccino and have stumbled upon this ancient text. Is this really that which I seek? And can I make it with a Keurig?
Things You’ll Need:
- 1/2 cup fresh espresso
- 2 1/2 cups 2% low fat milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of dry pectin
- pinch of cocoa powder
-
Step 1
First, you’ll need to start by making the espresso. If you have an espresso machine, use it! If you don’t, you can use a drip coffee maker and your favorite coffee (any standard grind will do). Put 1/3 cup of ground coffee in the coffee maker and about 1 cup of water. Then, brew as usual. Now, using the same coffee grounds, run the coffee through the machine again. This should be just enough to make the 1/2 cup of espresso needed for this recipe.
-
Step 2
Now that you have the espresso, gather the following ingredients: fresh espresso, 2% low fat milk, granulated sugar, dry pectin and cocoa powder as specified in the things you’ll need section. Next, combine all of the ingredients in a pitcher or a covered container.
-
Step 3
Stir the ingredients until all of the sugar is dissolved. Put it in the refrigerator and chill. This must be served COLD. Recipe makes about 24 ounces. ENJOY!
This Recipe brought to you by the linguistic stylings, and obviously Caffeinated brain of Norbert Davis

Its been an awesome weekend. My personal batteries are well on their way to being recharged. I spent most of the weekend unplugged gardening, fishing and spending time with the family, friends and catching a movie. Its springtime people, load the portable music device up andstep out into the wide world.
There was a ton of nifty things happening online this past weekend. From Swine flu to Bacon stories. Any well heeled geek needs to find a happy medium when consuming mainstream media, so we have all of the back alleys and dark corners covered in this show. We deal with Remix Culture, legos, and design.
Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

 I don’t often get a chance to give my opinion of a good unique product here. There are times when i come across them and I feel the need to jump on it. Canned Coffee is quite popular in Asia, I am told, but beyond the horrible Starbucks Doubleshots and frappicinos they are few and far between state-side.
One of my Favorite spots to eat on campus, Temple University Main Campus, is the Japanese & Korean Lunch Truck that was featured in this episode of Philly Food Guys. Teppanyaki is some good food let me tell you. I work on a college campus so the lunch truck thing never bothered me. But this truck is special beyond the fantastic food, they also carry Hello Boss Coffee. The can has changed recently but the flavor is the same. Its no where near healthy for you but it is awesome stuff. Read the rest of this entry »
