Starbucks® Mocha Frappuccino® Replica

I created this recipe myself. I wanted something that tasted like the brand-name stuff but without the steep cost! I kept the recipe simple only using coffee, milk, and sugar like the brand name does. Concentrate stays good in the refrigerator for a month.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• ½ (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 6 cups cold water
• cheesecloth
• coffee filters
• ½ pound dark roast ground coffee beans
• 5 cups 1% milk
• ½ cup hot tap water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix 6 cups water and coffee in a 1/2-gallon jar (such as Ball®) until grounds are completely saturated. Steep for 24 hours at room temperature, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Transfer the coffee to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour.

Step 3

Place a small colander on top of a tall, lidded plastic container. Line colander with a 6-inch square of cheesecloth; fit a coffee filter on top.

Step 4

Pour about 1 cup of the coffee into the colander until filter begins to clog. Lift the corners of the cheesecloth carefully; twist the cloth and filter to extract the liquid. Drain the remaining liquid 1 cup at a time, using a new coffee filter each time. Repeat the process with the grounds, filtering 1 cup at a time; squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Refrigerate the concentrate until ready to use.

Step 5

Combine concentrate, 1% milk, and condensed milk in a 1/2-gallon jar.

Step 6

Dissolve 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar and cocoa powder together in a bowl of hot tap water. Add to the coffee-milk mixture; cover the jar and shake well.
