Coffee Frappe

 A year or maybe two years ago, we decided we were going to make espresso and frappe type drinks at home. We ended up buying not one, not two but three different machines.

The third one is way behind some boxes and I can barely see part of the box. No idea what that one is but this is the one on the left. I think this is the one on the right. The one I can't get to may be an espresso maker. 

Vince has a coffee maker in the house and he makes coffee most every morning. I love how it smells but I do not like coffee. And, don't ask me why we have three coffee makers still in the box after a year or two.

A couple of weeks ago, Vince and I were on a little road trip and we stopped at a coffee shop/bakery . . a nice little independent shop. It was breakfast time so we got breakfast sandwiches and a slice of honey bun cake (Yum!). We were ordering and Vince ordered some kind of coffee; I ordered Dr. Pepper. Nope . . don't have Dr. Pepper. They have coffee, tea, coffee type drinks and water. I asked for a sweet coffee type drink that didn't taste like coffee. The lady knew exactly what I needed and it was delicious. I don't even know what it was called but this afternoon I began searching for a recipe that might be similar to what I had there. I came across this recipe. I think I will try it in the morning - probably use less coffee, maybe a little more milk and a little more brown sugar. Remember - I don't really like coffee (I think it's the sugar I liked about that drink I had) so if you're a diehard coffee lover, this may not be a good recipe for you. It seems pretty basic so if you want more coffee flavor, you could just add more coffee I guess.

I asked Vince to make a little extra coffee in the morning and put the extra in the fridge if I'm not in the kitchen when he makes it.

As far as breaking out one of the new coffee makers, that's up to Vince. Where his coffee pot sits, there's only room for one maker. He's the coffee guy so he makes the call which pot he wants to use.

I'm anxious to try this drink.
