We made it!!

We made it!! This is my second week of homeschooling... what a busy two weeks it's been. I always think busy means running around town or hurry-scurry in the office...not at home! Whew! So glad it's the weekend! I have tried not to drink caffeine for about 12 years now. This week I was so tired, I broke down two afternoons and had coffee... just to make it through the rest of the day. So, should you need a coffee break (caffeinated or not) here's a fun treat!

Homemade Blended Coffee
(kind of like Starbucks Frappaccino)
Ingredients
1 ½ c. cold coffee
1/2 c. milk of choice

½ c. sugar

1 tsp. chocolate syrup, carmel or your favorite flavoring (look for chocolate syrup recipe on 8/14)
1/8 tsp. vanilla extract

¼ tsp. salt
3 c. ice

Recipe Instructions:

Combine the coffee, milk, sugar, chocolate syrup and salt in a blender and mix on medium speed for 15 seconds to dissolve sugar. Add the vanilla extract and ice, then blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. (Stir with a spoon if necessary to help blend).

Pour into two 16 oz. glasses. Makes 2 large drinks. Top with whipped cream (opt'l) and drizzle chocolate syrup on top.
