Mocha Frappé
Need a java jolt? Skip Starbucks (well, once in a while, that is) and sip on this joyful frappuccino spin made with wholesome ingredients and just the right amount of mojo magic.
The coffee flavor is prominent (in the best way) with just one shot, but if you’d like a more intense espresso flavor—and double the caffeine!—add an additional shot. This recipe with a one-ounce dose, offers up about 60-70 milligrams of caffeine depending on your bean and roast.
Guys, words cannot espresso how creamy-dreamy, and addictively delicious this sipper is— it will infuse your morning madness and afternoon lulls with just the boost you need to power through… and do you.

Just delicious and refreshing this summer!!! Printed the recipe for future frappes:)
Thank you for sharing so willingly !!
I got your cookbook from junk food to joy food at the library and it has a recipe in it called iced mocha coffee. I just made it today for breakfast and it is. I made homemade chocolate syrup, courtesy of Laura Fuentes in her cookbook, “The Best Kid’s Lunches on the Planet” It was so delicious and not to sweet with just the right amount of coffee! I know this isn’t the recipe but I just commented on this one because I couldn’t find the right one online
