Frosty Cappuccino (part 2)

Posted on by

coffeeThe joys of living in a small town.  I sent the Frosty Cappuccino recipe to my friend Sarah Bell because I know she loves coffee and with 2 kids, well 3 counting Donnie, I’m sure she needs as much caffeine as she can get!

She e-mailed me back and said that she couldn’t find the Espresso Instant powder anywhere in town.  I have no idea where Jennifer and I purchased it from, but we used the last bit of it on Monday night!

Where else to look but the Wal-mart of the Internet (which calling it Wal-mart is almost an insult, it is so much better than Wal-mart). Of course I’m talking about Amazon.

Sure enough, the not only have it, but have the exact brand that we’ve been using.  I do have to buy a 6 pack of it but I will be drinking the Frosty Cappuccino’s for a while now!

Enjoy!

Jennifer and I love coffee drinks and while we’ll make a frozen mocha from scratch (making the espresso), here is a great recipe that I ran across about 2 weeks ago that we’ve made a lot.  Below is the “Neal” version of it.  I recommend sticking it in the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes after it is put in the glasses to get good and cold.

Enjoy!
