common recipe questions
What is a double-strength brewed coffee?
A double-strength brewed coffee is made using twice the amount of coffee grounds typically used to brew a standard cup of coffee, resulting in a stronger flavor.
Can I use a dairy-free milk alternative?
You can substitute low-fat milk with a dairy-free alternative such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
What can I use as a sugar substitute in the recipe?
You can use alternative sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or stevia as a replacement for granulated sugar.
Can I add any flavorings to the drink?
You can experiment with adding vanilla extract, flavored syrups (such as caramel or hazelnut), or even a sprinkle of cinnamon.
How can I make it creamier?
For a creamier texture, you can add a scoop of ice cream, frozen yogurt, or a banana to the blender while mixing the ingredients.
Can I make the drink sweeter?
You can adjust the amount of sugar or sweetener used in the recipe to taste. For best results, prepare the recipe as directed then add small amounts of sweetener until you get the desired results.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

I thought this tasted almost identical to Starbucks.

This is my go to iced coffee drink. I use splenda in it instead of regular sugar and fat free milk.

I thought this tasted just like the coffee frap at Starbucks. Soooo good!

I would say use coffee creamer, or more sugar. I thought it would come out more like a Starbucks, as it says, but it tasted nowhere near so. Perhaps more coffee?

Very good, especially during the summer months.

I make a copy cat Frapp almost every day. To make this recipe even better, freeze your coffee in ice cube trays instead of using plain water ice cubes. Then I add chocolate syrup and sometimes even chocolate covered coffee beans for an extra caffeine kick. Top with whipped cream! It's a lot cheaper than paying $4 every day to buy one.
